Sandown Town Council is beginning a community consultation on the future redevelopment of the land in front of the Ocean Hotel, adjacent to the Esplanade. This area represents an important opportunity to create a welcoming, accessible, and vibrant space that reflects the needs and aspirations of local residents, visitors, and community groups.
We want to ensure that any future use of the site is shaped by the people who know it best. Your ideas, experiences, and priorities will play a central role in guiding the design and purpose of the redevelopment.
At our first public consultation event, residents shared a wide range of ideas for how the land adjacent to the Esplanade could be transformed for community benefit. We’ve gathered those suggestions below so you can tell us which options matter most to you.
Please vote for the ideas you support, and if you have a new suggestion or a twist on an existing one, add it at the end. Every contribution helps shape a space that truly reflects our community’s needs and aspirations.
