00:00Sefton Council is being urged to explore new ways of protecting Southport's remaining sandy beach from increasing silt and vegetation.
00:09A motion from Green Councillor Neil Doolan calls for expert advice on measures including sand fences, wooden posts and improved
00:17tidal drainage beneath the pier.
00:19He is asking the Council to engage urgently with Natural England to explore solutions like tidal flow through artificially restricted
00:27channels under the pier.
00:28He says the proposals could reduce sand loss, improve beach conditions and support tourism.
00:34The motion also asks the Council to oppose toxic weed killers and large-scale salt marsh removal while considering targeted
00:42plant clearance instead.
