The work replaced the original steel tidal outfall flaps with new flaps made from high-density polyethylene and marine-grade stainless steel. The account says inspections included underwater surveys by divers, and that the new flaps were installed in September 2026 at low tide using divers and a crane.\n\nOther reported works included repainting the flood gate, replacing worn seals, improving pedestrian access when the gate is closed, and installing a quieter road surface. The account says the work was planned to minimise disruption and carried out outside school holidays. These Toll Road works form part of the wider Lymington Flood Alleviation Scheme; the wider scheme also includes piling along the marshes.\n\nThe report says the main project was delivered as planned, but records a separate outstanding issue: leaking floats had affected the marsh regulating valve. Replacement floats had been ordered and were to be fitted when conditions allowed; meanwhile, the valve was temporarily closed as a precaution, and lower marsh water levels were possible. The report says normal operation would resume after float replacement. Its Background section also gives an end-of-year repair target without specifying the year, and does not reconcile that target with the condition-dependent fitting statement.\n\nSource note: This summary is based on the supplied GOV.UK page title and main-text account.
