The sea defences and promenade that protect Rossall and Fleetwood are to be reconstructed in the near future. About 2.3 km of the coastline will be involved, and proposed work will include the replacement of the revetments, seawall, promenade and rear wall, and includes works to the grassed lagoon area and floodwater channel, seen here on the right. The work is necessary to protect the area from the latest projected sea level rise of 1900mm by 2095. If no action was taken then it is predicted that the current defences could fail in 5-10 years.
