A £57m sea defence investment is coming to Blackpool's coastline.
The Blackpool Beach Management scheme aims to protect homes, businesses and vital infrastructure from coastal erosion and flooding, and preserve Blackpool's beaches for future generations.
The proposal would see the construction of rock headlands (groynes) on the beach, starting just south of South Pier, and finishing at Cocker Square (just north of North Pier). The headlands will trap sand, keeping it on the beach.
Blackpool Council has been awarded funding for the scheme from the Environment Agency, in line with the approved 'hold the line' policy.
