Environment Agency tackles coastal erosion: 30,000 cubic metres of sand moved from Cooden Beach to Holywell annually to protect 18,000 properties
The Environment Agency estimates some 30,000 cubic square metres of sand and shingle is swept eastwards from Holywell to Cooden Beach every year.
Quite literally shifting sands in huge dumper trucks back the other way is a key plank of phase one of proposals to protect 18,000 homes and businesses, transport links and other services.
With the sand and shingle back in place, the sea will lose power as it hits the beach.
