Hampshire County Council plans £950,000 investment for sea wall repairs
What happened
Hampshire County Council is considering a proposal to invest £950,000 in sea wall repairs at Royal Victoria Country Park. The steel and concrete sea wall, which is 75 years old, has deteriorated due to coastal erosion and storm damage. If approved, the project will include repairs to about 15 metres of the existing structure and the construction of a new 71-metre inland defense.
