Broomhill towards Lydd Ranges 22.11.2009

48 hours of relentless stormy weather has caused further deterioration of our already vulnerable coastline and the forecast for next week shows no sign of reprieve! The beach at Galloways clearly shows the effects of  recent overtopping  with the crest further reduced and now in a very  poor state . The wooden driveway,  left in place for future repair works at Galloways, has been moved by the power of the  waves. The Broomhill frontage has also taken a severe battering . This situation could have been devastating if the tides would have been slightly higher and reinforces the need for urgent action to  be taken to implement some permanent sea defences  as soon as possible  in order to  protect the Romney Marsh from flooding.
