Welcome to
the home page of Cleveleys Sea Defence Works
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.
The first two
phases of the works have now been completed over a length of
approximately 750m. Finance has been provided for a third
phase to be constructed immediately south of the new
development. Site investigation works are currently
underway, with construction expected to commence in late
summer.

Latest phase of beach works on hold |

Work on the ground stabilisation element of the
latest phase of the sea defence and promenade
improvement works has now been completed. A total of
683 vibro stone columns have been installed
between Victoria Road West and Kingsway to
strengthen the poor
ground
conditions. This work will significantly improve the
load bearing capacity of the ground, allowing the
permanent works to be constructed on a sound
foundation.
With the columns now installed,
the beach is to be left to settle prior to the
commencement of the new defence works planned
for October 2008.
