Saltfleet to Gibraltar Point Strategy Beach Management Scheme

Working in partnership with Lincolnshire County Council, East Lindsey District Council, Parish Councils, Van Oord, Jacobs, Natural England, Marine Management Organisation, Internal Drainage Boards, Arcadis and JBA

BEACH MANAGEMENT SCHEME

RYR provided all the stakeholder and public liaison support to this project and are committed to keeping the local community and our stakeholders consulted, informed, and engaged.

We want to keep stakeholders involved and give them the opportunity to be involved in the implementation of future flood risk protection and possible enhancements.

The £10m annual beach renourishment work replaces the sand that is lost to erosion over the winter months, reducing wave overtopping during storms and protecting the sea defences from being damaged. Reducing flood risk to 20,000 residential homes, 1,700 businesses, 24,500 static caravans, 35,000 hectares of farmland and a bustling tourist industry.

These works are part of the new long term strategy for the Lincolnshire coast.

The strategy is in the planning and survey stage and is being developed through the engagement process by listening to our stakeholders and the community through formal consultation with statutory bodies.

We have been hosting and engaging at statutory stakeholder engagement workshops and public consultation events involving business, tourism and community representatives as well as members of the general public.

This is providing a wealth of local views and preferences which is being incorporated into the strategic future approach.
