Performance

The Coastal Management Team's development and implementation of the Coastal Change Pathfinder Programme has progressed alongside work on two Shoreline Management Plans and the management of programmed coast defence works.

We have engaged with coastal communities to find ways to meet the long-term needs of settlements threatened by coastal erosion. The Council was awarded Coastal Pathfinder status by the Government and allocated funding of £3 million (the biggest single allocation out of a national fund of £11 million) for a number of projects that test new ways to manage the coast, and which may form the basis of new Government policy.

“The Council has played a strong leadership role in coastal protection which is an increasing local priority…The Council has been working closely with local people, other councils and national organisations, including government departments to try to find a better way of managing coastal change.”
