The Undercliff Walk from Brighton Marina is set to close again for repair work.

The repairs are expected to take place in September and should be finished by November this year.

Workers will repair the section of cliff between Brighton Marina and Rottingdean.

Brighton and Hove City Council expects the works to take eight weeks.

The chairman of the city environment, South Downs and the sea committee, councillor Tim Rowkins, said: “Our contractors are due to return to the Undercliff in the autumn to carry out repair and enhancement work.

“This will happen after the school holidays and the bird nesting season, but ahead of the winter where storms and ice damage may be more prevalent.

“The work will be done in two sections – from Roedean ramp to Ovingdean, and from Ovingdean to Rottingdean.

“We understand how important the Undercliff paths are to local residents.

“We won’t close these important walking and cycling paths for longer than necessary to carry out the works.

“We expect these to take around eight weeks once they start.”

The Undercliff Walk was closed in January following “constant and significant chalk fall”.

The work was being done by specialists at CAN Geotechnical which has been in business since 1983.

The undercliff walk was also closed in February 2021 after a person was hit by falling rocks.
