Too complicated for me though. Saying that, and thinking about it though. Wouldn't accumulation of sand against the wall provide a ramp that would make the waves more likely to breach the wall?

I remember climbing over the railings and having a fair jump to get on the shore now the sand is up the the bottom of the railings in parts. Is it the breakwater, or is it just that any king of maintenance has stopped? The groins left to rot etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 So everyone’s skint and being warned to not put the heating on, extra cash being handed out so we don’t freeze to death, businesses closing all over the shop and the government’s reaction is to propose multi million piles of unnecessary shite like this?

My bets is if you create much less of a ramp , the shaping of the wall will do its job and we will be good to go. Dig out and move back the raised sand and stones along from War memorial to derby castle and I reckon you could be sorted. If only there was some kind of digger down there that could be put to this use....🤔 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been suggested to the clots at DoI but they are quite possibly some of the stupidest people on the planet. On a really bad day, you'll still get overtopping but it won't be leaving half the beach on the road and pavements 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 The part of the Prom under discussion is the southern end, the water is quite deep there, i doubt any scraping would have any effect??? The proposal is to put in a 1200mm wall with drainage hole at the bottom, most of us would be able to see over such a wall, kids? maybe not? Obviously there has been damage to the sunken garden walls and of the whole of the prom, perhaps they do deserve priority attention? Many on here seem to think that the repairs are overdue? What are they to do? Leave it or repair it? Of course, they could bolt planks to the bottom of the railings for 150k quid?!!! and wait for the economic situation to improve!!!
