Ministry rejects claim of failed sea defence at No. 61 Village

The Ministry of Public Works [MPW] yesterday said that measures are being implemented to address the ‘localised erosion’ that has occurred at the No. 61 Village Beach Access and it denied that the sea defence in the area had failed.

The MPW said that it was responding to reports published in recent media articles and on social media platforms that a section of rock armour revetment at the No. 61 Village Beach Access was partially breached due to shoreline erosion and an imminent flood threat had been created for adjacent lands.
