A £1 MILLION pound coastal protection scheme has been approved.

Chichester District Council approved the scheme that will protect a holiday park and the wider community.                

Bunn Leisure has been given the go-ahead to stabilise a section of beach at Medmerry Beach. There will also be shingle replenishment to replace shingle that has been lost.

John Bunn, managing director of Bunn Leisure, said: “The scheme will ensure the coastline is better protected against

climate change.

“We intend to start the work this autumn and are expecting it to take around four months.”
