The Saxon Shore Way could be severed if
the solution is not found soon.
Resident Michael van der Straaten has started an iPetition on behalf of the Friends of Lower Halstow Brickfields to help save a small section of unprotected and eroding sea wall which forms part of the historic Saxon Shore Way used by walkers from all over the UK.
A survey in November 2020 revealed estuary defences could be breached within 1 to 2 years, endangering the Brickfields, which has become a much-loved village nature reserve.
The group dedicated to the maintenance and conservation of the Brickfields is concerned that if left in its current state, then vehicular access to other parts of the sea wall may no longer be possible for maintenance and repair by Southern Water and the Environment Agency.
The new iPetition aims to raise awareness of the issue within the village and the wider community and the necessary funding to pay for either a temporary or more expensive permanent repair to protect Lower Halstow Brickfields.
