正文(英文) | Construction of Exmouth tidal defence scheme recommencing in JanuaryExmouth moves a step closer to increased protection from tidal flooding as construction of the £12m scheme restarts.
Construction work on the Exmouth tidal defence began in June 2019. The Environment Agency’s schedule included a pause in construction to re-open roads and clear visible construction for the busy summer and autumn tourist season. The Environment Agency and East Devon District Council have now confirmed that work will restart in January 2021 and includes:
Environment Agency Flood Manager, Ben Johnstone said:
Cllr Geoff Jung, East Devon District Councillor, Portfolio Holder for Coast Country and Environment said:
The Environment Agency and contractors will work closely with Devon County Council Highways at Alexandra Terrace junction and across the Esplanade on the installation of flood gates. From January sections of the Esplanade Road will be closed with signed diversions in place. A route through for cyclists and pedestrians will be maintained if it is safe to do so. The Exmouth tidal defence scheme includes flood gates in 26 locations. These specially made gates need to be closed when floods are predicted, to reduce the risk to local homes and businesses. The road based gates will be operated by East Devon District Council. Other gates will be operated by teams of community volunteers. Community closed gates are used effectively in other towns across Devon, they offer more flexibility, can be opened between tides and opened sooner once the all clear is given. This limits the length of time the gates are shut reducing inconvenience for residents and businesses. The Environment Agency is working with Exmouth Town Council and East Devon District Council, to establish a team of Exmouth community flood gate volunteers.
