CLEY AND SALTHOUSE SEA DEFENCES

Motion Text

That this House notes the concerns of Cley and Salthouse residents over delays in constructing the sea defence bank; applauds the efforts of local residents, parish councils, other local elected representatives and other bodies such as the Norfolk Wildlife Trust to get the project underway; calls on the Environment Agency and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to make every effort to ensure that construction work can start as soon as possible this summer; and further calls on the Government to re-double its efforts to tackle climate changes so as to reduce the threat to coastal areas from consequent rising sea levels.
