BCP Council has just released the latest update on the Bournemouth Beach Timber Groyne renewal project, saying that two new timber groynes at East Cliff are now complete, and the beach is officially re-opened.
The groyne replacement program forms part of the Poole Bay Beach Management Scheme, designed to help protect the coastline from erosion for the next 100 years.
Groynes are replaced approximately every 25 years, when they become life expired. The groynes slow down the natural coastal process that moves beach material from west to east in Poole Bay.
