The promenade slabs are now fully installed along the new sea defences being created in front of Southsea Common. It means the coastal partners team are now concentrating on the preparations to install the furniture - including the two yellow shelters which arrived this week after being refurbished.
On the other side of the road the embankment has also now been fully dressed with topsoil and seeded with grass along its entire length. The works are all due to be completed by the summer next year.
