Public Toilets
Over the years the FRA has worked with the respective Councillors to improve toilet facilities in the town. As a result the toilet block on the Esplanade at the junction with Connaught Avenue was built This state of the art facility replaced the previous 70-year-old building and given a five-star rating by the British Toilet Association. The building was designed to be environmentally and user friendly, and provides easy access for the disabled as well as baby-changing facilities.
Floating Rafts
The Association of Frinton Beach Hut Owners paid for several rafts to be located off the beach at Frinton-on-Sea, together with covering the cost of maintenance and insurance. The first were installed in 2012, and more have been added in subsequent years. These are all removed at the end of each season and put back in position in the Spring of the following year.
Bye-Laws
Display and enforcement of bye-laws needs to be monitored. Details of those in force in Frinton-on-Sea can be found on the Tendring District Council website, and the Notice Board positioned on The Greensward at the bottom of Connaught Avenue provides details of the bye-laws for the seafront.
Graffiti
There have been a number of incidences of graffiti on the sea wall and on a large number of beach huts. The Residents' Association has been in discussion with the Association of Frinton Beach Hut Owners and Tendring District Council with regard to its speedy removal, and we can report that action is always taken as quickly as possible.
Dog Control
Initially, dog fouling was just seen to be a problem on The Esplanade during the summer months, but now there are increasing occurrences during the winter and in other parts of the Town. To help alleviate the problem in a specific area, the Association has previously financed the purchase and installation of an additional Dog Litterbin. The FRA, in discussion with the Council will consider more locations for additional bins to be installed in the future.
To curtail the actions of what is possibly only a few irresponsible dog owners, residents are asked to report any incidents they witness to the Dog Warden on 01255 686766 as dog fouling can be a serious health hazard, especially if it is not cleaned up immediately.
Cycling
There are certain parts of The Promenade designated "No Cycling" Areas and as a result of discussions with TDC, additional signage has been installed and TDC has agreed that steps will be taken to enforce these bye laws whenever possible.
Vehicular Access
The gates allowing vehicular access to The Promenade should be kept locked at all times. Beach hut owners are able to obtain keys to unlock the gates in order to carry out maintenance work during specified hours.
Vending (ice creams vans etc) on the Esplanade
There is a byelaw stating that no trading is to take place on The Esplanade. If you see one, please take a note of the vehicle registration number (and other details if possible) and report this to a Local Councillor, Tendring District Council or telephone 01255 686969.
Why are there no stalls, chair hire facilities, ice cream vendors, or cafes etc along The Esplanade or on the seafront?
Because we want to ensure maximum amount of space is available for parking, ensure that visitors are not bothered by street vendors, avoid the litter which results, and give visitors the option to bring whatever they require with them which is a more economical approach, or there are shops in the Town Centre where most things can be purchased.
