Waiting for the Tide

Sea Defences Work

The Eastern Solent Coastal Partnership have published a July update which is relevant to the work near Tudor.

“Work is progressing on the Portsmouth City Council North Portsea Island Phase 4 scheme. Before our contractor Mackley starts work on the flood embankment and wall, a section of the coastal path will be temporarily closed from 1st July 2020, as shown in the map below. This is to keep the public safe. Diversion signs will be in place and the footpath along Eastern Road will remain open.There are no road closures planned for the Eastern Road.The new defences are part of a wider flood protection scheme for the North of Portsea Island. The scheme is designed to reduce the risk of flooding from the sea for the next 100 years to over 4,200 homes and nearly 500 business worth around £640m.”

For more details and future updates on the work you can visit: http://www.escp.org.uk/news/eastern-road

As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address if you feeling isolated and cut off from the world. It is always nice to hear from members, and any ideas of things to do would be most welcome.

Stay safe.

Useful Links

I thought it worth continuing to include a few useful links here as a handy place to find them if you haven’t already got them bookmarked:

• Government information on Coronavirus: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus
• NHS information on Coronavirus: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/
• RYA information on Coronovirus: https://www.rya.org.uk/knowledge-advice/current-affairs/Pages/coronavirus-covid-19.aspx

It is probably also worth noting:

• Langstone Harbour Board office is closed and they are working on limited capacity with minimal staff at the moment: http://www.langstoneharbour.org.uk/
• National Coastwatch has had to close their NCI stations: https://www.nci.org.uk/content/nci-stations-close-due-coronavirus-concerns
• RNLI stations are open, but they are hoping people stay at home* as per Government guidance; there is always the possibility that they are unable to field a full crew due to Coronovirus, so this staying at home would seem a wise option: https://rnli.org/
• Getting on the water is being actively discouraged, notably in Portsmouth Harbour: https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-ministry-defence-police-stop-sailors-water-portsmouth-harbour-amid-covid-19-lockdown-2521619
