IN reply to the letter last week by Rich Addyman.
You are so wrong in all your "history" of our coastline and rising sea levels etc.
You've fallen for all the climate change brainwashing.
I'm 75 years old. My childhood was spent playing in the much bigger sand hills at Leasowe Bay.
It was very dangerous with broken glass and old wartime barbed wire and buried antiaircraft guns and shells etc.
At that time the embankment either side of the bay was low enough for high winter tides to go over the top and reach the main road, flooding the fields and the big hospital grounds.
When the council built curved tops on them it meant the water was thrown back out.
In the '60s all the beach sand was replaced by black, smelly sewage mud for a few years.
The sewers all had to be redirected to Rock Ferry.
There's a beautiful park and eco-sewage farm there now.
If anything, the sea now goes out far further than it ever did before.
Before, the embankment tides used to reach Moreton Village!
Check local history before you peddle your own version.
When the tide comes in all the land sinks under the weight.
There's a gauge in the Albert Dock where you can see that.
