Community Facilities

Families with young children are very welcome to use our toilets and baby-changing facilities. If you get caught short, we also keep a small supply of spare nappies available – every parent knows these things happen!

Our facilities are also open to everyone else enjoying the beach. In addition, a defibrillator is available on site should it ever be needed. To our knowledge, there is currently no other accessible defibrillator along this stretch of Goring beach.

A Special Thank You

A big thank you to Ed Miller from the Ferring Conservation Group for drawing our attention to page 59, section 3.2 of the The Worthing Plan document. We were unaware of these details until they were highlighted by him.

The land directly opposite our site, Greensward, is already used for recreational purposes, with leisure use fully supported by the Council. It is larger and wider than our site when viewed from the sea towards the South Downs. The policy states:

“These areas are open and either undeveloped or a managed landscape for recreational use.”

One could draw a metaphorical parallel: it is akin to seeking permission to open a nightclub next to an existing nightclub. One could therefore reasonably argue that this is analogous to proposing a similar leisure use adjacent to an established leisure use. The legal principle of recreational use in this location has already been established and accepted. Thank you Ed. Really helpful.
