The park at Hotham in Bognor Regis has a history dating back to the origins of the growth of the town in the late 18th century. It has undergone extensive regeneration in recent years with a £2.2 million face lift making it a unique and valuable asset to the people of the town in terms of its natural beauty and the annual events that are planned and take place there. Outline planning permission has been granted for a new Cafe in the park replacing the existing concession whose lease expires at the end of the year. We are proposing a brand new and unique facility befitting the upgrade of the park that will provide a unique experience for the people of Bognor and tourists alike. A tree top cafe that sits amongst the canopy of the park and interacts with its surroundings providing a learning resource and a completely interactive holistic experience. The cafe will be built, managed and operated by the people of Bognor and include meeting rooms for community use as well as linking to play areas and activities amongst the trees in an entirely sustainable way that minimises impact to its surroundings. If you feel the tree top cafe at Hotham would provide a unique resource for Bognor Regis and is something you would love to see in the park, then please add your signature to this petition which will form part of our bid to Arun District council.
