Blackpool Council has announced a £30m investment to construct new coastline defences to prevent erosion.

The plan includes the installation of five rock groynes, which will protect over 5,000 properties from coastal flooding by trapping the sand and stabilising the beach.

The Environment Agency-backed project will begin later this year and is expected to take three years. It will be carried out by Balfour Beatty.
