Repairs to take place to seawall and beach steps at Aldeburgh
Scheduled repairs on the seawall at Aldeburgh are due to start later this month.
From Monday 17 March, East Suffolk Council’s repairs and maintenance contractor, the Water Management Alliance, will begin seawall repairs from Fort Green car park to the South Lookout. This work will also include replacing the timber beach access steps near the junction of Crag Path and Hertford Place.
The existing beach access steps will remain open until the new steps are in place, however there will be limited access to Crag Path south of the beach access steps during this work.
Cllr Mark Packard, East Suffolk’s cabinet member for Planning and Coastal Management said: “Our Coastal Management Team have identified these seawall repairs as vital in protecting our coastline in the Aldeburgh area. The work will cause some inconvenience but is crucial maintenance.”
A temporary site compound will be in place in the Fort Green car park during these works. Machinery will access the beach at the northern end of Crag Path and move along the beach to the works location.
The work is expected to be complete by Friday 28 March and visitors are reminded to take notice of any signage in the area whilst the work is happening.
