Carer - you should have gone to Specsavers! Oh well if it was breached in the 90s then there is an absolute necessity for the wall!! It was notable yesterday that the waves were still topping the new section so what is the point really?

It's already an eyesore and that's before the graffiti gets daubed on it!! And on a stretch of line that have never been breached in 150 years!!

When I queried in June why the work had to be 24/7 when the line wasn't breached and services were running I was told by both project ...
