Works for the sea defence scheme in this location are running to schedule and the pre-cast revetment units are continuing to be laid. A total of 1350 out of the required 1662 units have been placed and it is anticipated that the revetment placing will be completed during August 2010. The concrete paving for the lower promenade at High Knocke has also been completed. For a more detailed progress report please see the latest newsletter issued or contact Public Liaison Officer Veronica Wells (07931 450359) / email dymchurch@environment-agency.co.uk

Once completed this phase of sea defence will reduce the risk of flooding for nearly two and a half thousand homes in Dymchurch but will also  form an important link in the  much needed overall sea defence  improvement schemes proposed for the  Marsh.
