WIRRAL Council is working in partnership with other regional councils to create a shoreline management plan which will provide a coastal defence policy for the coast stretching from North Wales to the Scottish border.
Wirral, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Conway and Sefton are to create a plan for the North Wales/Merseyside coast, which will then link up with plans created for Blackpool's Fylde coast, Morecambe Bay and the Cumbrian coast.
Wirral will be consulting with local groups and individuals who enjoy and use the coast, to ensure their views are taken into account in the creation of the plan.
As with other parts of the coast the shoreline management plan needs to take account of rising sea levels and increased storminess which are predicted effects of climate change.
