Following recent significant rainfall and high tides Councillor Marc Macrae (Fochabers Lhanbryde) inspected the beach at Kingston.
Commenting –
“The situation at the beach has been long known and the communities of Garmouth and Kingston often face a real worry whenever heavy rainfall is forecast or indeed is combined with a high tide.
“The shoreline continues to erode and only recently I was assured by council officers that heras fencing was being installed near the play area in Kingston where significant chunks of the bank have eroded and fallen away.
“I would encourage anyone walking along the shoreline or indeed parents supervising their children at play to exercise caution and keep away from the edge.
“Residents have already met with council staff and Crown Estate representatives regarding the continued erosion of the shingle bank and the continued threat to the adjacent properties.
“With the darker days of winter upon us, take care underfoot and keep a watchful eye if out walking your dog that it also doesn’t slip.”
