This website details the sea defence and promenade improvement works currently being carried out at Cleveleys, a small seaside resort to the north of Blackpool in Lancashire. The work are being constructed by Birse Coastal in partnership with Wyre Borough Council with finance provided by Defra, the North West Development Agency and the Council.

Cleveleys - Best in Britain
The Cleveleys Coast Protection Scheme, which has proved beyond doubt that sea defences can look stunning, has been declared Project of the Year in the national Constructing Excellence Awards 2009. Judges were looking for a scheme that demonstrated the highest level of technical achievement, innovation and application of best practice, delivered to time and budget through team working at all levels.
Officers from Wyre Borough Council and Birse Coastal were at Lords cricket ground to accept the top award. Councillor Peter Hawley, Living Economy Portfolio Holder for Wyre Borough Council, said: "We thought we'd done extremely well to pick up the regional prize back in May, but to be named best in the country is a fantastic achievement. "It's no more than the project deserves of course. What Cleveleys has now is so much more than an eye-catching seafront. As well as providing essential flooding defences for thousands of residents, it has also regenerated the town centre and given the people of Cleveleys a real sense of place ownership. Officers from Wyre BC and Birse Coastal celebrate their success at the awards ceremony.
