Beachgoers in Worthing will get the chance to embrace a traditional seaside delight as the popular deckchair concession returns.
Worthing Borough Council has given South Coast Beach Leisure Ltd a three-year licence to provide deckchairs in three locations between Splash Point and West Buildings.
With the sun now shining and thousands heading to the coast, more than 250 deckchairs have been made available to hire. As those in need of repair are refurbished, this number will grow, and there could be up to 500 on the beach this year.

Construction has now begun on a major new regeneration scheme which will transform Worthing's Portland Road into a vibrant and inclusive space.
The work, which will see the street become an exciting destination where pedestrians are the priority, is expected for completion in the Spring of next year.
Local contractors Landbuild were awarded the £925,000 construction contract earlier this year and began major works this week.
Worthing Borough Council is managing the scheme, which is funded by West Sussex County Council and the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership.
Free ultrafast public WiFi, better lighting, comfortable seating areas, cycle racks and landscape planting will all form part of the scheme, which is designed to encourage people to visit the town centre and support local businesses.

Adur & Worthing Councils are set to become the first local authorities in the UK to lease the seabed off their coast from the Queen in a pioneering project to invest in climate change measures and restore marine habitat.
The historic move could pave the way from an ambitious plan to create a Sussex Bay marine park along the entire county coast, east and west, to protect vital marine life, restore estuary habitat and even create a destination for eco tourism.
Backers of the scheme see it as the ‘blue mirror’ to the South Downs, with all the environmental protection, tourism and potential job opportunities that could be created.
