Storm surge damage, Walcott
A highway maintenance lorry is driving backwards and forwards, sweeping the sand off the main coast road through Walcott. Clean-up in progress. On 5 December 2013, a storm surge, said to have been the worst in 60 years, flooded the coastal village of Walcott. Five days later, the main road through the village is still closed > Link and workers are busy removing lots of sand which had been washed onto it. A number of sea front chalets were destroyed or badly damaged by flood water, and gardens and side roads are still covered with debris. People from 13 homes have been moved into emergency accommodation. The public footpath leading along the top of the sea wall is also still closed > Link.
