Field Teams are out at #WestBay in #Dorset today moving beach material displaced by #StormCiaran. Restoring the beach profile will reduce flood risk and protect against waves, and will also re-establish safe public access.

We have teams out and about the area checking flood defences and what's happening on the ground. #TeamEA here out looking at river levels in #Dorchester today.
