A PUBLIC body has refuted claims its workers left a beach “looking like a nuclear bomb has gone off” after installing sea defences. Last October the Environment Agency launched its Seawick Sea Defences project to help protect homes, businesses, caravans, and holiday chalets from flooding. By placing rock armour around the sea wall at Hutley’s Gap, in St Osyth, and along a 250-metre section in front of the Bel Air Chalet Estate, the risk of erosion was reduced. But according to a concerned resident, who has asked to remain anonymous, in order to carry out the job workers had to dig up an “unbelievable amount” of rubble.
