One High Tide

Time is of the essence to start building the new sea defences for  the Romney Marsh as we are fighting a losing battle with the re-shingling . Below is a photographic record from Broomhill, Jury’s Gap and Lydd/ MOD Ranges taken over the last 3 months which shows the movement of shingle and the repeated loss of the material along our beaches despite all the recent  EA’s efforts to maintain the shingle bunds by re-shingling.

This loss of shingle and  resulting damage caused to the beach profiling during  high tides and stormy weather is pretty obvious and points out the vulnerability of our current defences. The implementation of the  more permanent solutions proposed by the EA cannot come soon enough in order to  protect the Marsh from flooding.
