We Asked

This consultation on the shortlist of options for the new Saltfleet to Gibraltar Point Strategy took place in 2018 and is now closed.

A new consultation on the draft strategy takes place between 3 June and 25 August 2019.

You can find more information on this consultation as well as an online survey to submit your views through by visiting https://consult.environment-agency.gov.uk/lincolnshire-and-northamptonshire/sgp/

Your responses will go towards shaping a strategy that will be implemented in 2021.

You Said

The results of the public consultation indicated that sand nourishment and a combination of sand nourishment and rock structures, were the preferred approaches. Coarser sand, shingle or pebbles was the least preferred option.

We Did

Your responses, along with the results of the Strategic Environmental Assessment and our own analysis, have helped us to deliver a draft strategy. This will be going out to public consultation in 2019.
