Weymouth Beach is getting a makeover.

Dorset Council in partnership with Weymouth Town Council, are carrying out works to the town beach next week.

It's partly due to the change in beach profile caused by Storm Alex, and as part of routine management to prepare the beach for the winter period.

A spokesman for Dorset Council said:

"Heavy plant will be used to adjust profiles and crest level against the sea wall. This is to reduce the risk of overtopping and to manage the undermining risk along the northern end of the beach.

"The beach will remain open, but members of the public are asked to stay a safe distance from all plant."
