The Environment Agency will be talking about its plans for managing flood risk in the Rye area at a meeting at Winchelsea Beach Community Hall on Saturday.
Ian Nunn, from the Environment Agency, will be talking and answering questions at the meeting, which has been organised by the Friends of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
It starts at 7.30pm.
Attending will be members of the Defend Our Coast Assoc
iation, who hold their AGM at the Guild Hall in Lydd on Friday at 7.30pm.
Richard Holmes, from the Friends of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, said: "There are some concerns in the area that the Environment Agency is not taking enough action to protect homes and property from flooding."
The Defend Our Coast Association say the Government's Shoreline Management Plan could increase flooding in the Rye area.
Brigitte Bass, from the Association, said: "The published Shoreline Management Plan contained various recommendations which caused great concerns to areas all along our stretch of coast.
"Its recommendations of 'Managed Retreat" in some areas has put the Marsh at an increased risk of flooding and blighted properties.
"We are campaigning to put pressure on the Government to protect the Marsh and Rye area coast-line, speak on behalf of local people and keep local people informed about any progress made with the various Government departments and ultimately to achieve adequate coastal defences for the Marsh, thus preserving it for future generations to come."
An Environment Agency spokesperson said, last year: "This is one of the largest areas at risk from flooding in Southern England."
