People in North Devon and Somerset are being asked for their opinions on how the coastline should be managed over the next 100 years.

A review of the original Shoreline Management Plan, completed in 1998, is under way.

It aims to help reduce risks to people, property and the historic and natural environment associated with coastal processes such as flooding and erosion.

The new plan will cover the coast between Hartland Point and Anchor Head.

Angela Proctor of the Environment Agency said: “Coastal erosion is nothing new so we need to look now at how we can cope with it over the next hundred years given what we know about the resources that will be available, and how the coast will change.”

Feedback events are due to be held in Somerset at Minehead Rugby Club on 21 January and at Laburnum House Hotel, West Huntspill, on 22 January.
