As a result of the tidal surge in December there was
significant damage to the flood defence at Blakeney Freshes and the public
footpath between Blakeney Quay and Cley village. Due to safety issues the
footpath has remained closed since December. Whilst the long-term future
of flood defence measures for this area remains uncertain, the Environment
Agency, Norfolk County Council, Natural England and the National Trust
recognise the significance of this route for the local community and the
economy of this area and are actively working on practical temporary measures
to re-open this route as soon as possible. Work is expected to commence
on site in mid-March and the Environment Agency have issued the following information sheet.
