10mm gravel now cleared from Hampshire beach

Dredged 10mm gravel has been dumped by a sailing club on a Hampshire beach, which covered the sand and left drops that were several feet deep; it has now been cleared up.

In the process of clearing a channel for boats, Hill Head Sailing Club left 4,000 tonnes of gravel waste on Hill Head beach, Fareham.

The mounds of stones have now been spread out along the foreshore to clear the beach.  The stones were dredged up last month by the sailing club, who had put the gravel on the foreshore between high and low water – where the tide can take it away.

This year, the club needed a licence from the Marine Management Organisation, but if it put the gravel above the high water line a licence was not needed.

Councillors blamed a “bureaucratic mistake” which meant the gravel was left above the high water mark.

Councillor Arthur Mandry said: “It was a big bureaucratic mistake, there was some confusion as to where the gravel should be placed.

“It ended up too high up the beach. They have now remedied it and apologised to everybody.”

The council said the sailing club would seek early permission and make sure all the consents were in place before it starts on any future works on the beach.
