Purpose

Beach
replenishment is needed to prevent flooding of residential homes at
Eastoke Frontage area.
 

Decision

The
Eastoke frontage at Hayling Island
suffered significant erosion between 1st December and
7th December 2025. Bays 27, 28, 29, and 30 were severely
depleted, increasing the risk of flooding to properties that are
adjacent to the promenade. To maintain protection through to the
next planned recycling the beach needs to be re-built as far as
possible Material will be pushed back from the promenade as well as
brought in from where it naturally builds up by Coast Guard
revetment to support these areas.
 
The
Council has a Term Service Contract with provision for emergency
response with Les Searle Plant Hire Ltd.  And they were mobilised to undertake emergency
beach replenishment works. The operation is scheduled to take place
over 5 days, from 9 to 15 December 2025, at an estimated cost of
approximately £30,000.
