We love our new beach in Seaford

I think we need to be realistic - most of Seaford town is at or below sea level. I am lucky enough to live by the seafront but be above sea level- however vast swathes of the town are not, going back as far as Brooklyn road which is below sea level and many roads go up to the beach eg ringer road, cricket field, west view etc. the beach is not as it was pre 87- there is a lot of beach still left- held in place by granite rocks up against the sea wall- the drop from sea wall to beach was considerably more than a couple of ft as it is now. If the beach was allowed to go back to pre 87 the town would flood... Regularly pretty much every time there is a stormy high tide. Dutch engineers originally advised a groyne arm should be built at Seaford to match the Newhaven lighthouse arm creating a bay - we could've paid for that ten times over in the last thirty years rather than the cheaper option that was taken to bank the beach up with imported pebbles. If the alternative arm can be built I am in favour but if it can't the beach must be banked up again or Seaford will return to being a flood hit town - don't forget the sea has flooded all the way up to st Leonard's before! How businesses would stay in a town that floods all the time??
