on South Shields main beach.
The new decking was
commissioned by South Tyneside
Council as part of the Government's
Sea Change programme aimed at
regenerating England's seaside resorts.
Before the new decking was
installed, the only designated walking
areas on the beach were tarmac
surfaces which had deteriorated over
the years, leading to concerns over slips
and trips. There was also a risk of
aquaplaning of flat-soled shoes because
of frequent wetting from wind-driven
sea spray and rain from the North Sea.
JB Antislip Plus decking was able
to address all these issues because,
even when wet, it provides a safe, slip
resistant surface.
