New decorative lighting to be introduced along Burnham seafront
New decorative lighting is set to return to Burnham-On-Sea’s seafront after town councillors gave the go-ahead at their latest meeting.
At a virtual meeting of March’s full council meeting, Burnham and Highbridge town councillors decided to proceed with the revamp of lighting.
“Decorative seafront lighting will be strung between the existing lampposts at a cost of £10,708,” it was resolved.
The proposals have been welcomed by tourism businesses along the seafront who say having attractions such as lighting make Burnham’s Esplanade more inviting.
The seafront used to have colourful decorative lighting attached to lamposts but many were damaged during a big storm in 2007.
