Brighton and Hove City Council is inviting investors to transform the Kings Road paddling pool and playground into a new seafront destination, with the water play and play area to stay free. Proposals are open until 27 September 2026.

Brighton and Hove City Council has secured over £22 million from the Department for Transport, plus £3.9 million of its own funding, to rebuild the Victorian era arches under King's Road, after surveys found they were at risk of collapse.
