Major sea defence scheme gets under way to protect homes

The Anchorsholme Coast Protection Scheme will begin its early stages on Monday starting with the establishment of construction compounds.

The scheme will protect over 5,000 properties from coastal erosion and flooding, ensuring that homes and businesses remain safeguarded for years to come.

Five rock groynes will be constructed on the beach at Anchorsholme, and a rock revetment will be installed on top of the existing sloped seawall.
