The Environment Agency need to temporarily close public access to Splash Point Terminal groyne from next week to allow essential maintenance to be undertaken on the raised timber groyne/wall. The work will be conducted alongside the recycling operation and is expected to complete early April 2025.
The essential work will involve repairing wet rot damage and strengthening of the vertical timber posts, and replacement of timber groyne planks. The maintenance is essential to ensure the groyne can continue to operate as designed (to minimise shingle loss from the frontage) and to ensure the structure remains safe for public access.
Although the groyne will be fenced off, the promenade will remain fully open, please see annotated aerial photograph below.
