Seaton, East Devon: Now Over One Million Euro Plan Unveiled to Protect Homes from Coastal Erosion

The East Devon town is responding proactively to the increasing threat of coastal erosion, which has left homes threatened along an almost two-mile stretch of coastline that it shares with neighbouring Beer. Located at the mouth of the River Axe, Seaton remains very popular with holiday makers, and is in the middle of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. But degradation of the cliffs that line its coastline has led the local authorities to develop a £1.4 million plan that is expected to be made available to the town, as well as its residents, in the event of the cliffs crumbling.
