About

Littlehampton East encompasses the residential streets directly inland from the river Arun and the town centre. The area is characterised by post-war housing estates and some older terraced homes, providing a mix of owner-occupied and rental properties. Local amenities are focused along the main roads, with several schools, convenience stores, and a medical centre serving the community. The layout is primarily functional, with green spaces like the Fitzleet Multi-Use Games Area offering recreational facilities for residents.

The geography is defined by its position between the river and the A259 coast road. A notable feature is the presence of the Rustington and East Preston sewage treatment works near its eastern boundary, an industrial-scale facility that processes waste for a large part of the district. While the seafront and harbour are nearby, this area itself is mostly residential, with direct pedestrian and cycle access to the town centre via the Norfolk Bridge across the river.
