Work to improve the sea defences has not yet begun on the area where the area where the damage has been caused. The Southsea Coastal Scheme has completed sea defences in the area around Long Curtain Moat, with partially completed defences constructed around Southsea Castle and the team has said that so far no damage has been reported in these two areas.

Southsea Coastal Scheme project engineer Amy Brittan said: "We're pleased to see the new sea defences performing as they should do during this extreme weather, as is evidenced by no damage being sustained at Long Curtain Moat or around Southsea Castle."
