The Outline Business Case for the Coastal Transition Accelerator Programme (CTAP) in Charmouth is currently being written, and we would value your feedback on options being considered. This list of options has been created using feedback from the community and key stakeholders.

We recently attended the first ever ‘Love Your Weymouth’ festival, hosted by Weymouth Town Council as an opportunity to speak to local residents and visitors about how they can increase their resilience to flooding, along with the work being done to reduce the risk in the future. We had a great time having open discussions about peoples’ flood risk, what they can do, and how they can feel empowered to adapt to the impacts of climate change. This was a great chance to update people on the work that Dorset Council and WSP are doing to develop the Outline Business Case. We can’t wait to attend again next year!
