The Shoreham Fort facilities were open at the east end of the beach, Shoreham Beach Green half way along and Widewater Lagoon at the west end. In fact, the residents of Worthing and Adur, together with people visiting the area, have been able to access more than half of their public toilets throughout the present crisis, as opposed to places like Hastings which locked up every single one of theirs.
