Flood defence works on the Exe Estuary
Dave Coulson-Lowes • 25 March 2019
Changes to access - Imperial Grounds in Exmouth for 2019
From April to October, The Kier Group will be constructing flood defences on behalf of the Environment Agency in Exmouth. These will be in part on the seafront, close to Mamhead and on the Exe Estuary from MS Marine to part way around the Imperial Grounds.
This will have an impact on the activities taking place in this area, especially for vehicle access for the majority of 2019. The Kier Group have met with most of those concerned and arrangements are being put in place to help ensure local businesses and activities can continue to take place and the enclosed newsletter gives more details.
