See how work has progressed to replace sea defences between Rossall Hospital and Rossall Point in four year project that will protect 7,500 properties from the risk of flooding.

325,000 tonnes of rock armour are being used to create the base of the defences, to weather the harsh conditions on this exposed part of the coastline and allow the beach to build up in the area.

Between the rock revetment and the promenade, specially manufactured precast concrete is being used to form a stepped revetment to break the waves. The promenade will look similar in design to Cleveleys and is due to re-open when construction finishes in November 2017.

To find out more call into the information cabin at West Way car park which is open Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 5.30pm, or visit www.fyldecoastalprogramme.co.uk.
