A damaged flood defence wall in Topsham is to be rebuilt by Exeter city council, after the Environment Agency said it could no longer afford to maintain it.
A large section of the wall at Bowling Green Marsh was damaged during the high tides and storms in January and February.
The city council owns the land and says it will apply for emergency funding from the Government to get the wall standing again.
