The following activities will reduce:

• Ainsdale. Beach car parking at Ainsdale will cease outside the main summer season - the beach car parks will be opened later in spring (May), closed earlier at the end of summer (mid-week from first weekend in Sept) subject to need and weather conditions and due to reduced staffing levels during the summer,reduced in size so as to be managed/policed safely and effectively.

• Habitat management except in areas where external grants are involved or actions required protecting the SSSI/SAC from consented but potentially damaging operations such as beach car parking and coordinated specialist volunteers groups will cease. The following activities will only be undertaken on a severely reduced basis:

• Manual litter clearance on all areas - there will be further reduced cleansing activity on the main amenity beach areas and other coastal areas, including the hinterland, nature reserves, and Rimrose Valley Country Park

• Beach Life guarding at Southport will cease with limited cover being provided from Ainsdale at peak times and high risk periods (tides)

• Sand clearance along promenades at Southport and Crosby and the footpaths through Crosby Coastal Park i.e. there will be reduced sand clearance with paths being blocked for longer periods or semi-permanently.
