How to respect the coast
To provide flood protection and resilience to Swanage residents and businesses this coming autumn and winter the seasonal wave barriers have once again been installed by the Environment Agency.
To highlight the barriers for those who are visually impaired, Dorset Coast Forum, along with local artists, have created a "Flooding Swanage with Art" trail and this will be installed in the coming weeks.
