Work Progress... 8th April 2016

GAME ON

Here We Go Folks.

How it all was back in October 2009

UPDATE. 24/3/16. Cliffs starting to dry out - lets hope it lasts so work can soon start - all the materials needed for the work have been purchased now...
As we are now waiting for the cliffs to dry out before any work can start I wanted to keep our Blog alive by posting this aerial video which I made some years back in 2009 flying a model plane fitted with a camera over our homes.
I originally posted it on the Blog as one of the first entries but it has been lost with everything that's gone on since. Remember you can scroll back in date to "Older Posts"at the bottom of each Blog page to see how things proceeded with our project up to the present time... Regards Peter.

Meeting...

Many thanks to all who attended the meeting to find out the start date and plan of action for the work starting on the cliff erosion project.

It was also good to see members of the public from Warden and Leysdown who are also taking an active interest in the project. The community group would also like to express their thanks to the Parish Council for the use of the village hall.

GENERAL MEETING

Dear friends in our community.

There will be a community meeting to be held on 

Thursday 28th January 2016.Venue is at Eastchurch Village Hall, 7pm for a prompt 7.30 start.

Please attend to find out what is GOING to happen regarding the cliff and foreshore pilot scheme. You will also be able to find out what else will be going on in the area.
Please pass on this important information to others in our community as not all have an internet connection - please help in this regard.
There will be an open question time...

Regards Jenny and Malcolm.

WE GOT THERE...

Great News - we have now got the letter in writing for work to proceed  at Eastchurch Gap.

The final results will be of tremendous benefit to us all - not only will the cliff gain some stability but the vegetation and fauna together with the planted tree saplings will enhance the whole area. 

NATURAL ENGLAND SAY - YES -

This is the news you have all been waiting for...

Today (Friday 20th November 2015) representatives from Natural England attended a meeting with our MP Gordon Henderson and then afterwards with the Eastchurch Gap Erosion & Community Committee to try to resolve the previous issues relating to the proposed work to the Eastchurch Gap cliff area - to help stem the fast and accelerated erosion...
This meeting was most constructive and over the course of two hours a clear direction and understanding was gained by both parties. 
It has now been made clear that once we have satisfactorily addressed a few small formalities there would be no objection on the part of 
Natural England for the proposed work to proceed on the cliffs ASAP.
The short video just says the same. -
