Glass panels will be exposed to the elements to see if they are robust enough to form flood defences in Sidmouth.
As work to progress the Sidmouth and East Beach Management Plan continues, temporary glass splash defence test panels will be installed from Monday (January 20) on the existing sea wall between the York Street and Fore Street junctions.
A temporary sign will be installed near to the panels to explain what the panels are there for and to invite comments.
Following the test, East Devon District Council's project team and flood defence consultants Royal Haskoning DHV will assess how the panels performed and will also review feedback from the public.
