Scratby Coastal Erosion Group

Jim Bratton: Your letter and others today’s Telegraph - agreed, what can Midland-ers do?

With immigration too, and the ignorant writing about “all that green land” - don’t they realise it is growing food for them to eat, in an increasingly hungry world .. JG, Warks

Thank you JG for your message of support.
You can help us by creating awareness with your Member of Parliament, writing to the press, raising the subject with your friends and colleagues and making a contribution to our fighting fund.
If the coast isn’t defended now when will it be ? The longer it is left the more it will cost future generations.

I was wondering if it would possible to prevent coastal reosin by using glass blocks or boulders. Glass is extremely hard waring and with recyled glass costs only around 5 pounds a ton. Different Sizes and shapes with have to tried in small scale before you can line the coast with a glass boulders. Not sure if this idea has been tried before. But with councils collecting glass for reclying there is no shortage. Only disadvantage is glass is brittle so size and shape are important.

Andy, thanks for your interest and your ideas. Our biggest stumbling block is that the Environment Agency say that there is no money available to us to do anything before 2011 and even then only a very slim chance

We are having the same problems with the E.A. on the Humber.
Cost benifit analysis, cannot protect all the coast, no funds in the future! sea level rise!
Yet they are spending millions purchasing land to flood it!
Do you know how much the sea level has risen in the last 50years ?…not 1mm!
Good luck.

my husband an I live in coventry, holiday on your coastline at least 4 times a year, we are hoping to move to your beautiful coastline within the next couple of years, have never understood why the goverments are not doing more to protect our land before it all dissapears what is the matter with them, other people emigrate to cyprus excetera and still get paid heating allowance, spend some money at home, has the world gone mad? is there anything we can do to help?
