Shingle recycling between Littlestone and St Mary's Bay
Published: 12 January 2022
We have been informed by the Environment Agency that this winter, between 24 January to the beginning of March 2022, they will be running plant on the beach to recycle shingle. The object of the project is to maintain the profiles of the beach using available material in the interests of flood risk management.
They will deploy compounds to house the welfare units and plant overnight at Jesson outfall, Coast Road (by the water tower) and a small satellite compound next to the RNLI at Littlestone.
The works are being delivered under their Beach Management Plan, which has been assented by Natural England.
