📢 Calling all North Swanage residents: talk to us about coastal change

When Future Coast North Swanage began in 2025, we asked residents about coastal change, adaptation and resilience. Those responses helped us understand local priorities and have influenced the work we've carried out over the last two years.

Now, as the project moves towards its final stages, we'd like to revisit those questions. By comparing responses over time, we can better understand whether awareness, understanding and perceptions of coastal change have changed, and what that might tell us about engaging communities in adaptation planning.

Whether you've followed the project from the start, attended an event, subscribed to our updates, or are hearing about Future Coast for the first time, we'd like to hear from you.

📝 Complete the 2026 survey: https://dorsetcoasthaveyoursay.co.uk/futurecoast-s…

📅 The survey is open until 30 November 2026.

Every response will help us understand how communities can prepare for and adapt to future coastal change, both in North Swanage and beyond.
