Pevensey Beach recovery update – Please take care

As you may have seen, Friday and Saturday’s severe weather caused significant impacts along the beach:

  • Erosion occurred at several points from Sovereign Harbour to Cooden.
  • Shingle was washed onto Herbrand Walk near the railway crossing.

Our teams worked tirelessly with double shifts over the weekend and are back on the beach today. They’re focusing on:

  • Reinstating the most critical sections of the beach.
  • Restoring access where it was lost.

Their hard work has been outstanding, and recovery efforts will continue throughout the week.

Please take extra care if you’re out on the beach. The waves have created steep slopes (cliffing) in several areas, which can be hazardous.

We know this work may cause some disruption, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we respond.
