According to the Council, this will involve the importation of approximately 9000 tons of shingle, to be deposited on the beach at Danefield Road in Selsey.

The shingle will be placed between two groyne bays and spread to the adjacent groyne bays.

The Council added that the material will be delivered to the beach by lorries travelling down Hillfield Road, across Clayton Road and down to the end of Danefield Road. 

Work is set to begin around February 2, and will last for 3 to 4 weeks.
