•The High Quality Maritime garden will be developed on the current physically inaccessible site between the baths and the East Pier where the steep gradients and poor aspect present hazards to public safety and provides opportunities for anti-social behaviour. This area will be transformed into a high quality Maritime garden, to complement the planned gardens of the People’s Park.
