Strong Community Conversations – Coastal Community Group Success

The Bay Coastal Community Group continues to play an important role in shaping the Shanklin & Yaverland Coastal Defence Scheme. Launched in September 2025, the group brings together residents, businesses, councillors and community representatives to engage directly with the project team.

Two successful meetings have taken place so far, most recently in February 2026. These sessions provide a constructive space to discuss progress, ask questions and share local knowledge.

Feedback from the group has been extremely valuable, helping improve communication, shaping engagement activity and building trust as the scheme develops.

A third meeting is planned for Summer 2026, and new members are very welcome. Further information on how to get involved is available on this page.
