Martello Changing Places Facility

Seaford Martello Changing Places

*UPDATE (20/01/2026) – Changing Places Facility – Temporary Closure

The Changing Places facility on Seaford Seafront remains temporarily closed following extensive damage to the unit, including deformation of the entire frame, making repair impossible.

A new replacement frame and door have been commissioned by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, production issues have caused delays to the supply of these components. We are in regular contact with the manufacturer and are actively pursuing the parts required so that installation and safety checks can be completed as soon as possible.

We understand how important this facility is for those who rely on it, and we are working to reopen it at the earliest safe opportunity. We will provide further updates as soon as they are available to Seaford Town Council.

If you have any questions, please contact: admin@seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk

The Seaford Martello facility is intended for use by disabled people who require assistance of a carer or need extra facilities.

Access can be gained by radar key – PLEASE SEE OUR CONSULTATION BELOW.
