A £1.5 MILLION scheme to protect West Bay from river flooding is progressing well despite the challenging weather and the fact it is being undertaken during a pandemic. A 380 metre sheet pile wall is being constructed alongside the River Brit as part of the scheme while the riverbank is being reprofiled. The work, which started at the end of November, is designed to protect Parkdean Resorts’ West Bay Holiday Park and the surrounding area. The embankment does not provide adequate protection so this work is being undertaken - a partnership between the Dorset Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Team (FCERM), Parkdean Resorts UK, Dorset Highways, the Environment Agency and Jacobs Consultants.
