Working on behalf of Havant Borough Council, the appointed contractor Les Searle Group will be commencing winter preparation works in the Eastoke area, Hayling Island in the following days.
South Hayling beaches are frequently exposed to large waves and high tides, especially during winter storms. To prevent properties from flooding when these factors arise, Coastal Partners - on behalf of the Council - undertake beach management works along the Frontage.
This Autumn’s beach recycling campaign will reinstate the height and width of the beach crest ahead of the 2026/27 winter season.
Material for the project will be sourced from Gunner Point, the Coastguard Revetment and areas of open beach along the southern frontage.
Les Searle Earthmoving Ltd will be setting up equipment along the Eastoke frontage from September 23, in preparation for the works which are due to start on September 28, lasting for approximately 4 weeks.
