Agencies and local councils are joining forces to respond to large quantities of windblown sand across the East Lindsey coastline and are urging the public to take care on roads and pathways.
Over the last few days, Lincolnshire has experienced continuous strong easterly winds which has caused fine dry sand to blow off the beaches.
The Environment Agency, East Lindsey District Council, Lincolnshire County Council and local town councils are working together to try to minimise the amount of sand affecting roads, promenades, business and properties. This is being made extremely difficult due to the ongoing easterly winds, which are expected to last until the end of the week.
Steve Willis, Lincolnshire County Council's Assistant Director of Environment Planning and Customer Services, said: "Our priority is to keep the roads clear from sand, especially with the bank holiday weekend approaching. We advise motorists to take extra care when driving on coastal roads as the sand can cause them to become slippery."
Leigh Edlin, Environment Agency Area Operations Manager, said: "We are prioritising our efforts to minimise the amount of sand continuing to blow over the top of the defences. We are focussing our resources to move sand away from sea walls and access routes.
"We are asking residents to consider waiting until wind speeds have subsided before attempting to start clearing sand from their properties."
Agencies are currently holding discussions to ensure resources are prioritised correctly and how best to advise residents once the wind has subsided.
East Lindsey District Council has spent a great deal of time leading up to the important bank holiday weekend to ensure tourism areas were clear of sand in support of local businesses. This unprecedented weather has made conditions extremely difficult and this good work has now been undone. It won't be possible to clear all the sand from the promenades in time for the Easter weekend.
