I agree up to a point Ian, but the majority of sand coastal defense systems, are constantly having work done, some annually, with costs being in the millions, if we take away the cobbles and replace with sand, and that disappears, we are left without either a beach or flood defense, I think a better option would be leave the cobbles in place, and slope down from there, it would be more cost effective and safer, and with some smaller shale on top of the cobbles, for easier movement, I know we would still have the costs of future sand works, for aesthetic reasons, but the flood defense would still be in place.
