ALMOST £1M worth of work is being planned to rejuvenate a sea wall in ‘grave disrepair’.
The design of the Environment Agency’s Southmoor Flood Alleviation Scheme comes as widespread concern grows about the flood risk to the area near the wall, in Langstone.
The Southmoor sea wall is a privately-owned, low-level, concrete sea wall fronted by a shingle beach.
The Environment Agency (EA) has engaged with residents, councillors and businesses in designing the £800,000 scheme, and will continue to do so before submitting an application for the works, to Havant Borough Council.
