The Slapton Line Partnership

 

The Slapton Line Partnership acknowledges that Slapton Line will soon reach the end of its life.

 

The Slapton Line Partnership exists to

 

  1. Maintain resilience of the road until a point when triggers require the road to be closed
  2. Plan and deliver Adaptation Actions in anticipation of future change
  3. Ensure that appropriate contingency and emergency response plans are maintained

 

In doing so the Partnership will

 

  • ensure that suitable expertise is available to inform decision making
  • promote public awareness and community engagement in adaptation
