"Resurfacing works" on the Esplanade and Cliff Hill commenced this morning.

An RNA milling machine could be seen ripping up tarmac from Cliff Hill/Cliff Road and spitting it into a dump truck.

New parking restriction signs were affixed to the metal posts that recently appeared on the pavement, confirming reports that the works would herald the beginning of the new seaside parking regime.

The signs formally introduce the "No return within 2 hours" from 10am to 7pm restriction on Cliff Hill.

They also prohibit caravans and campervans from parking there overnight. No vehicle over 3.5 tonnes can stop there between 11pm and 7am.

Throughout this week, work will commence daily at 8:00am and finish at 5:00pm.

The Esplanade will be shut off from the junction of Marine Parade to the junction of Bridgeman Road until Saturday 27 February.

Temporary diversions signs have been erected.

Nub News is currently investigating the cost of the works.
