Description

Provision of Beach Management work to maintain the coastline from Folkestone to Hythe. The principal objective of the works is to maintain the existing standard of coastal defences along the Shepway District Council frontage between Fisherman's Beach, Hythe to the Harbour at Folkestone in order to maintain the standard of protection. This will be achieved through the recycling and re-grading of the existing shingle beaches. This will raise and stabilise beach levels to provide protection to the sea wall and thus reduce the risk of coastal erosion and landslip reactivation.
