Urgent void repairs - NovemberUrgent void repairs - November 2025
In early November 2025 urgent repairs were carried out at the base of the Cobb's high sea wall in Lyme Regis. A large hole was found during inspections earlier in the year.
To protect the wall over winter, temporary rock bags have been placed to provide additional support to absorb wave energy.
The permeant repair, which will use fast-setting concrete to fill the hole, will be rescheduled at the next suitable spring low tide in the New Year.
These works are part of a three stage repair plan for the Cobb, but are separate from the larger Phase 5 coastal works in Lyme Regis.
