Recent high tides have taken away most of the shingle which should protect our fragile coastline, but alas we watch the bulldozers sitting idle in the EA compound whilst the tides wash away the precious little shingle which remains . Not only will this leave us extremely vulnerable to the high Autumn tides forecast for this year but also represents a total waste of taxpayer's money, given that shingle has to be sourced at £60 per cubic metre- only to watch it being washed away rather than being pushed back up the banks during low tides by the EA now. !!!
