Bournemouth beach sinkhole could have drowned a kid

A man who fell down a sinkhole fears a child could have drowned if they had fallen into the hidden hazard. Steven Rushton said he struggled to get out, despite being 6ft 2ins, and that water came up to his chest and there was quicksand at the bottom. The 62-year-old fell into the hole while walking along the sea shore at Middle Chine beach in Bournemouth. His beach stroll scare happened a week before the Bank Holiday weekend, when people are likely to visit the Dorset sun trap in good weather. It was like I d fallen off the world It just happened so suddenly, it was like I d fallen off the world, he told our sister title the Bournemouth Echo.

Bournemouth beach: BCP Council s seafront improvements

BCP COUNCIL have been busy during the lockdown period, making use of the quieter period by frontloading a lot of their planned improvements for the next couple of years on Bournemouth seafront. With summer just around the corner and the easing of lockdown restrictions enticing visitors to the South Coast, we paid a visit to the beachfront to see how the council’s projects are coming along. Poole Bay Beach Management Scheme Probably the council’s biggest project, major work got underway in October 2020 to replace timber groynes to the west of Bournemouth and replenish sections of Bournemouth’s beaches with sand.

Groyne replacement works on beach to continue in autumn

Work taking place on the seafront THE next phase of major works to replace timber groynes on the seafront will start in the autumn. BCP Council’s Poole Bay Beach Management Scheme to replace timber groynes to the west of Bournemouth and replenish sections of Bournemouth’s beaches with sand started in October 2020. A spokesman from BCP Council said: “From October 2020 to March 2021 coastal management works to replace timber groynes from the Poole/ Bournemouth boundary to Middle Chine were completed on time. “These works saw the removal of five life-expired groynes and the installation of four more evenly spaced new ones. A high and wide beach is the coastline’s primary flood defence which is then supported by groynes to slow down the natural process of beach material moving eastwards along Poole Bay.”
