Construction work on the Alexandra Theatre redevelopment in Bognor Regis is progressing on schedule, as the project continues to reshape one of the town’s most iconic cultural landmarks.

The latest project update confirms that key construction milestones have been achieved, including the commencement of piling work. This follows the successful completion of preparatory enabling works, such as asbestos removal, service isolations, and the demolition of existing structures.

Key Progress Highlights:

• Piling Underway: With the piling mat and haul road now complete, piling activities have begun, marking a crucial phase in foundational construction.

• Enabling Works Completed: All major preparatory work is finished, ensuring the site is ready for main construction.

• Health and Safety Excellence: The site continues to operate with zero reportable incidents under RIDDOR, supported by stringent safety protocols and environmental safeguards.

Next steps for the Alexandra Theatre project include the ongoing installation of scaffold structures to support forthcoming structural, roofing and façade work. Groundwork will also continue over the coming days in preparation for the next phase of vertical construction. Meanwhile, procurement of specialist construction packages is progressing well, with the most recent valuation submitted and certified, demonstrating strong financial oversight and commercial progress.

Stakeholder engagement remains a key priority. Contractor Neilcott is working closely with Arun District Council, the Regis Centre management team, and other stakeholders to minimise disruption and keep the public informed.
