Beverley MP organises open day and public meeting amid fears dredging may be causing coastal erosion
Graham Stuart, MP for Beverley and Holderness, is inviting residents to learn about the possible impact of dredging for aggregates on coastal erosion at an information event and public meeting.
Graham organised the event, due to be held at the SHoRes Centre, Withernsea, on March 27, after some residents said they feared the continued off-shore dredging was having a direct impact on the speed of erosion along the Holderness coast.
While Graham will chair the meeting, it will also be attended by Mark Russell, director of British Marine Aggregate Producers Association; Dr Andrew Bellamy, United Marine Dredging; Robert Langman, Kimberley Bridge, Hanson Aggregates Marine; Graham Singleton, Joe Holcroft, John Miller – CEMEX Marine and David Harding of the British Marine Aggregates Producers Association.
Graham said: "I called this public meeting after a number of constituents raised concerns. This open day and public meeting will give residents the chance to see details about how the industry operates and then question that information for themselves.
"I hope anyone who is as concerned as myself about erosion will come along to the SHoRes Centre during the day and look at the information available before attending the public meeting in the evening. "
