The photos posted on facebook clearly showing the difference if any between the new and old wall against a medium high tide driven by an easterly wind certainly are not indicating £30 million pounds of improvement. The water is still topping the new wall onto the railway line and Marine parade.
@Carer ... good idea, but no one is currently living there
Go and knock on their door at 2am tomorrow and tell them about it and see how they like to be woken up.
A house alarm has been sounding every 15 mins on and 15 mins off since 5 am this morning. Very annoying like my neighbours.
Time and storms will tell!
I to live opposite i think the clue is in the word RESILIENT.
Perhaps you and I are looking at different walls! Have you been watching the stormy waves today lashing over the new wall? I have as I live opposite. As I said, perhaps the finished article will make a difference but based on today's evidence it hasn't made an appreciable difference so far.
They should not have spent nearly £20 million on that knackered out of date newton abbot shopping centre. seems par for the course with local councils down here wasting money on fruitless projects.
Margaret of course it's made a difference there's now a metre of concrete and steel between the sea and the line it's made the wall and line RESILIENT.
Well looking at the storm this morning I can tell you it has not made a jot of difference so far. Perhaps the finished article may do so but I won't hold my breath in anticipation.
