Update - October 2017

After last months report I am now looking at the positive side of what has been done and I can report that large areas of the upper slopes are indeed stable so the matting has helped because vegetation has started to grow back thus binding up the soil - have a look and see...

A large chunk of the cliff has collapsed taking the last remnants of the old original beach path.

August Update. "IF"

Nothing to report work wise and unfortunately more of the netting has tumbled onto the beach.
The top cliff section has become more stable so the netting has worked there and a lot of the planted Willow whips have taken however with the lower cliff section still being eroded by the sea it is only a matter of time before a major slip occurs now.
IF the work had managed to be completed on the lower cliff perhaps it would have been more stable. IF the four groynes we had could have been renewed they would have built up the beach by stopping the longshore drift so the lower cliff would have seen less erosion as the sea waves would then not be lapping the lower cliff.
Lots of "IF'S...🆘🆘🆘

Up at the village hall...

Hi all just an update for you if you were at work and couldn't go...
Not a lot going on yet - it was more of a one to one discussion to find out about the proposed coastal walking path around our island. It's an interesting project however a lot of consultations have got to take place with everybody who could be affected and they are a long way off from working out the proposed route as yet so don't worry -  2020 is a few years off yet...
