Understanding the Beach
Understanding the beach is vital in ensuring that coastal towns don’t get flooded. On a rolling basis it’s measured to record how it changes.

Beach Works
Find out why there’s work taking place on the beach, what’s being done and where you can find out more, in our Beach Works pages. 
The Wyre Beach Management Scheme is a major £40m coastal defence project. Wyre Council has secured funding from the Environment Agency to better protect 11,000 properties and infrastructure against flooding and erosion. Work to construct rock armour toe protection and new rock groynes is being carried out by Balfour Beatty.
Rock armour toe protection has been installed parallel to the sea wall at Rossall Beach, Cleveleys. It will also be installed parallel to the sea wall around Rossall Point at Fleetwood.
Rock groynes replace the old wooden breakwaters – would you believe they even used old tram tracks to build them! New groynes are being built between Kingsway (the Wyre boundary with Blackpool) and the new Rossall seawall at Westway. And from the north end of the Rossall Scheme around Rossall Point at Fleetwood.
Want to know more? Pop into The Venue at Cleveleys seafront, weekly on Thursday mornings from 9-12. Find out more from the Project Information Officer, ask questions and look at the plans.
Beach Nourishment Works
Beach nourishment works were carried out at Cleveleys, back in June 2013, to protect the sea defences and reduce the risk of flooding.
