MORAY Council is inviting local coastal communities to input to the new process for adapting to changes to the coastline due to climate change.
Phase two of the Coastal Change Adaptation Plans is under way, with plans being drawn up to give the local authority a clearer process for managing coastal assets.
Decisions will be based on evidence from coastal monitoring, including coastal erosion, sea level rise, coastal flooding, existing defences and their condition. These decisions are not fixed and can range from no intervention to maintaining defences and planning for asset relocation.
The council are holding a series of local events to collate feedback from the community, giving locals the chance to speak with the team leading the development of the Coastal Change Adaptation Plans.
Findochty Village Hall will host the first session on Monday, April 15 from 3pm-6pm, covering the Findochty to Portknockie section of the plan.
The following day the focus switches to Findhorn Village Centre, beginning at 2.30pm and running through to 6.30pm. This will look at the part of the plan stretching from Culbin to Netherton, Kinloss to Hatton, Roseisle to Burghead (south), Burghead to Cummingston and Hopeman to Covesea.
Transport to the events can be arranged through the m.connect service. Any queries from the community should be directed to flooding@moray.gov.uk and include CCAP Community Engagement in the subject.
