If you would like to come and talk to us about our work, we will be at Bembridge Village Hall on:

Have Your Say
This is a draft strategy and no final decisions have been made. We want to hear from you to help us to identify anything we may have missed in the preparation of this draft strategy. Please share with us your views of our recommended management options and any concerns you may have regarding the strategy funding and implementation.

Please ensure we receive your comments by Friday 5 March 2010.

Your views will help shape how flood and erosion on the Eastern Yar and in Bembridge Harbour is managed and adapted for climate change for the next 100 years.

  • Do you support the recommended options?
  • Do you know of anything that you feel could fundamentally change or improve our recommendations?
  • Works for the Duver do not qualify for HM Treasury funding. What ideas do you have for a realistic but more innovative local approach to funding?
  • Where Can I Find Out More?
