Greatham Creek / tidal pools / sea defence

[A McLee]

In an earlier club newsletter I mentioned plans by the Environment Agency ( EA) to further raise and strengthen the sea wall on the south side of Greatham Creek, to the east of the road bridge, affecting the tidal pools and the avocet breeding island's pool. The application to Stockton to perform this work is underway and the club has made comments on this already. The work is scheduled to run in the summer months from April to October in 2017 and 2018, if approved. I presume access along the path will be closed for the time.
