Blackpool’s Anchorsholme Beach, a historical seaside resort area, is threatened by coastal erosion, leading to a £30 million protection project involving rock groynes to preserve the beach. While the project aims to protect this vital amenity for future generations, it will also make the beach largely inaccessible to tourists for three years. Local officials emphasize that the loss of the beach would jeopardize both the area’s aesthetic and habitat diversity, marking a significant step toward bolstering Blackpool’s tourism sector which has seen declines over the years.
The scheme will retain the beach as an important local amenity for existing and future generations. The loss of the beach without the installation of the groynes would not only be harmful to the character and appearance of the area but would also result in the loss of a large area of beach habitat.
The coastal area is now subject to a £30 million protection plan to ensure it's saved for future generations. Funding will put rock groynes in place to try and stop the erosion.
