A DEVELOPER could transform the toilet block on Beach Green into a café '“ but has also floated plans to turn the southern side of the green into a '˜leisure destination'.

Wilbo’s Restaurants has been selected by Adur District Council as its preferred developer for the dilapidated block.

Wilbo’s director Brian Wilson stressed nothing had been decided. He said: “We have some good ideas but want to open it up to the general public. We are more than happy for them to be a part of it. We will work as a team.

“We will get the schools involved. We want to create something for everyone.”

Mr Wilson employed Brighton architects CDMS to draw up initial concepts as part the expression of interest in the site.

He spoke at Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum on Saturday to gauge opinion.
