Save the community of Fairbourne, Gwynedd

The Issue

Government funding for sea defences may be lost and evacuation started in 2025 splitting up the community.  Fairbourne has better defences than its ever had and its only flooded once over 70 years ago (to my knowledge - it may be longer than that) Its survived the recent floods so why is it being targetted?  Support us to save Fairbourne from being considered as a area for a managed retreat in ten years time.
