The change in the weather, whilst something of a shock after a couple of warm
and sunny weeks, has reduced the number of people braving the elements out on
the beach. This has made the movement of trucks along the frontage much easier
and hopefully has resulted in less in convenience to the local community in
general. The 7 Volvos will complete their work on Friday, before going off to
Seaford to fulfil a similar role for the Agency there.
Next week we will be transferring shingle from Langney beach round the harbour
by road lorry, most likely the first of three such operations this winter.
There has been a change in plan as far as dredger Sospan Dau is concerned. She
will now start at Pevensey, probably at some point during the coming weekend.
This change has come about because necessary permissions from Defra have not
been received by the Agency to allow work to start at Seaford first. As we already
have a 5-year license in place at Pevensey, Sospan can start here and move to
Seaford later. With shingle being added to Sovereign Harbour beach crest this
week via recycling and next from Langney, all Sospan's deliveries will be placed
in front of the rocks. This means that there will be minimum amounts of recovery
needed with the bulldozer at low tide. Indeed we do not expect to work on the
overnight low water, just doing a minimum amount of re-grading during daylight
hours. With road lorries and the dredger delivering beach material in the same
week it will minimise disruption to Sovereign Harbour residents that overlook
the beach.
As always if you have any comments or questions please contact me as below or
