Dorset Council are working with partners to explore possible options for managing flood and coastal erosion risk in Weymouth. The project will investigate costs and benefits of a range of options, then recommend the preferred options to improve Weymouth’s resilience to flood and erosion risks.

As the project progresses, public consultation events will be available so that the community can be informed and involved with opportunities to feedback on the proposed options.

  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded.

    To continue work to deliver improved protection against flooding and coastal erosion in Weymouth we are putting together a shortlist of potential flood and coastal erosion defence options. To develop these options, we need to understand better how these options and emerging designs for the Esplanade and Harbour may impact residents and businesses in Weymouth.   

    As we continue to identify where, when, and broadly what type of works are needed, we are seeking information around managing potential impacts and maximising positive outcomes for the community as well as the opportunities and issues these may present

    Please help us by taking a few minutes to complete the survey below.
