stop the destruction of Hemsby Dunes
We the undesigned,petition Norfolk County Council to
work as a stakeholder and lead authority to stop the proposed removal of rock armour sea defences and hexi block sea defences at Hemsby beach
The rash and hasty conclusions in the various meetings held by the so-called stakeholder group need to be publicly challenged
The residents of the affected areas have not been included in any of these so-called Stakeholder meetings and have received no meaningful help or support which is impacting on the mental health and wellbeing of vulnerable Norfolk residents
We ask for a total Stop notice to be placed on the proposed removal of the said rocks and hexi blocks and works of this nature should be left to be looked at by the new style of local governance that will soon be in place in Norfolk it's too big a call for a bough council that won't be in existence for much longer the cable of councillors and so called stakeholders seem to be acting in self-protection mode the vary rocks that are deemed not to work and are dangerous are allegedly going to be placed at Hemsby Gap where apparently they will work and won't be dangerous and we wonder who will gain financially from this
It's this sort of behaviour that causes anger amongst the residents of Norfolk and especially those of coastal communities
The cabinet at Gybc is playing fast and loose with residents lives and with disruption to a delicate eco system
Let the people of Norfolk vote on such an important issue where else will sea defences be removed Scratby Caister etc etc
Important once in a life time actions like this should be made by the new Norfolk Centric style of Governance not by a cabinet of people with too many self-interests it's undemocratic to say the least
