9,000 tonne barrier to protect 1,300 Wirral homes nearly complete

A large project to protect more than a kilometre of Wirral coastline is nearly complete.

9,000 tonnes of rock were placed along a stretch of coastline to the east of the Leasowe Lighthouse as an extension to already existing defences.

The 1.1km barrier will protect nearly 1,300 homes from flooding and coastal erosion. Work began on the project in July after Natural England approved a management plan for the project.
