Sara from DCF and Flooding Swanage with artist Andy Knill Art celebrated a rescheduled Outdoor Classroom Day on 23rd in Swanage (due to Storm Ciaran and a yellow weather warning on 2 November!) with a combined total of 153 local pupils from Swanage Primary St George’s Primary School and St Mary’s. Learning about coastal flood protection on site where it happens, the pupils also learnt more about how the artists created their work.

Thank you for your contributions towards this round 2 engagement. This survey closed on 24th July and the team is now reviewing the responses to help develop the shortlist of potential flood and coastal erosion defence options.
Over the next few months, the team will be engaging local businesses and stakeholders to listen to any concerns and suggestions for the future of the works.
The next round of engagement is aiming to be held in early 2024. See the Have Your Say page to sign-up for updates.
