Hello Everyone,
I had a meeting at Bracklesham with representatives from various CDC departments a week ago. I think they are for it in principle. We also have at least one councillor Elizabeth Hamilton batting for us for which is good and will help.
BUT ... we are waiting for the Environment Agency to tell us if we can let the shower water run off into the shingle. I explained that the purpose of the shower was to rinse off salt water and people were not in the habit of using shampoo and shower gel when using these showers as they are cold. We shall see. If the EA say okay, then the proposal is that it is installed just the other side of the slipway but of course lots of hoops to jump through still and budget approval required so to be honest it's anybody's guess. If EA say it needs to be drained off into the system somehow I think the project might be scuppered. That said I am an optimist but we might need to cross a few fingers.
