The whole matter has been raised with MP’s MSP’s, Councillors and officials over a period of years. Public meetings have been held at which various official bodies have given presentations and explained why nothing can be done. A local forum with no powers was set up to co-ordinate meetings and papers etc. Most members have since resigned as it had no teeth nor powers. It was eventually perceived as being a body set up by politicians to cover up lack of activity/forward moves on the problem. Council officials and their consultants have been brought to the site. They deny there is a problem and will do nothing.
Reality is that no stautory body ready to step in and take action. Richard Lochhead stated publicaly first week of October, 2012, that coastal erosion is not a Government matter and Government will not get involved. Therefore more reason for Petition to go forward.
