📢 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.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.🌊 Coastal change continues. Has your perspective changed too?
In 2025, we asked the community about coastal change, adaptation and resilience. The responses helped shape the Future Coast Charmouth project and gave us a clearer understanding of local awareness, concerns and priorities.
We're now repeating the survey to understand whether views and awareness have changed since the project began, and to hear from people who may have become involved more recently.
Whether you completed the first survey or are hearing about the project for the first time, we'd love to hear from you.
