Conserving the Climping coast
CLIMPING is not a mid-Atlantic island. It is an invaluable open space, and farmland, between Bognor and Littlehampton.
There is no question that the West Sussex coast is worth protecting from coastal erosion, with Climping an integral and minor part of the expense of that. Cutting the country up into pieces of mere land, out of context, is a good way to ruin England.
There may be a quite separate debate about the need for saltmarsh, if ever Climping could become like that.
Cut the Mona Lisa into pieces and it is worthless.
