Eastbourne tourism boss Margaret Bannister has said she is expecting a wave of staycation visitors this summer despite ‘Freedom Day’ being pushed back.

Cabinet portfolio holder for tourism and enterprise Margaret Bannister said, “Despite the delay of the planned easing of restrictions on June 21, Eastbourne is still very much open for business and anticipating a strong staycation season ahead.

“A large proportion of the tourism industry is now fully open with all types of accommodation welcoming guests, and most key attractions and food and drink venues open to visitors, both inside and out.
