Clarifying the Portreath Flood Resilience Scheme

We understand there’s been some misinformation circulated recently about the Portreath Flood Resilience Scheme, so we’d like to provide some clear, straightforward information.

This scheme has been developed with the aim of supporting and protecting the community, not to harm it.

The monthly drop in events are currently paused.


Here are the key points:
  • The scheme will not affect water quality at Portreath Beach.
  • It is focused on reducing flood risk for more than 100 existing homes and businesses — it is not linked to plans for new housing development.
  • Its purpose is simply to help make the community more resilient to flooding.
