Sea defence blocks moved from Storm Ciaran

Very strong winds and high waves overnight on the 1st of November from named storm, Storm Ciaran pushed temporary storm defence concrete blocks away from their placement and across the pavements allowing the sea and sand to cover the lower High Street.

The blocks where installed in late October to stop the sea from breaching and flooding.

The blocks had already been moved back into place using a crane by 10am the following morning.
