Developers and environmentalists clash over plans to build a £3bn barrier across the Wash.
By Owen Sennitt, Jill Bennett & Neve Gordon-FarleighDevelopers hoping to build a £3bn tidal barrage across the Wash have faced criticism from environmentalists.
Centre Port said its barrage could provide power for 600,000 homes and help protect the coast from flooding. The structure's design features about 40 turbines to generate electricity from the tidal flow and would also be able to hold back water during a storm surge.The planning and construction of the barrier - stretching from Gibraltar Point near Skegness, Lincolnshire, to Hunstanton in Norfolk - could take another 11 years, Centre Port said.
"We do not have the luxury of time", he told people gathered at a meeting at Hunstanton's Princess Theatre on Friday night.
