Sidmouth deserves proper coastal flood defences.
I’m pleased to have helped secure multi-million-pound government funding for a new coastal defence scheme to bring much-needed peace of mind to residents and businesses in the town.
I would like to thank the team at East Devon District Council, as well as the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for hearing my call to ensure the project can continue despite delays.
I'm looking forward to seeing work begin so we can better protect our beautiful coastline.
