At a recent meeting with Great Yarmouth Borough Council it was agreed, that in light of a letter recently received by our Member of Parliament Tony Wright from the Environment Agency, that preparatory work on the Scratby Rock Berm Extension project can now begin.
It is hoped that the project will be ready to be submitted to the Environment Agency when the next batch of finance is due to become available in 2011. Although there is no guarantee of approval, a viable project needs to be submitted to be given consideration.
There is also the possibility that the current criteria may change, or that more funds could be allocated to coastal defences before then.
In the meantime, the Coastal Erosion Group and the Borough Council are constantly monitoring beach changes and tidal conditions. Any comments or observations by local residents or visitors are always welcome.
