McKillop calls for repairs at Waterfoot Beach

Cllr McKillop had secured the fencing to protect the sand dunes at the beach, however, the fencing has been damaged by the incoming tide.

She said: “I am disappointed to see the damage caused to the fencing at Waterfoot less than a year after I secured its installation. I have asked council to step in and do what they can to repair the damage.

“We are lucky to have such an area of natural beauty right on our doorsteps and it’s important that we take steps to ensure it can be visited safely by everyone.

“Waterfoot Beach is at significant risk of coastal erosion with serious damage already caused to the sand dunes. Without action there is a real risk that parts of this beach could be lost completely and that’s something nobody in this community wants to see.”
