EA Chair Alan Lovell and Emma Reynolds MP visit Pevensey Bay

On Thursday 9 October, as part of Flood Action week, we were proud to welcome Alan Lovell, Chair of the Environment Agency, and Emma Reynolds MP, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, to Pevensey Bay.

During the visit, the team demonstrated beach management activities, showcasing how shingle beach defences are maintained to reduce flood risk. Alan and Emma engaged positively with the team, asking insightful questions about our operations, the properties at risk and the environmental challenges we face. It was a great opportunity to highlight the importance of our beach management work and the dedication of our team.
