Annual dredging wraps up at West Bay and Lyme Regis

Dorset Council said that the annual dredging works at West Bay Harbour and Lyme Regis Harbour are now complete.

All equipment should be finally demobilised this week, ahead of next week’s Easter break, said the Council.

Every year, the accumulated sediment that has deposited over the last twelve months is removed from the navigational channels and used to build up the local beaches.

According to the Council, the dredging equipment arrived at West Bay on February 12, 2024.
