Hemsby cliff-top homes to be ‘demolished’
This is a tragic tale – we’ve experienced the impact of this phenomenon on the East Yorkshire Coast. Lets hope those concerned are effectively supported going forward. The article tells us:
Houses left teetering on the edge of a cliff when sand dunes below were washed away during storms will be demolished before Easter, a council says.
Residents were forced to leave the 13 bungalows on The Marrams in Hemsby, Norfolk, after they became unsafe.
The wooden chalets started to collapse on to the beach on Tuesday and it is feared they will fall down completely.
Great Yarmouth Borough Council’s leader said now the bad weather had subsided they could be dismantled.
On Tuesday, it was confirmed 15 people had been left homeless when the properties collapsed.
Graham Plant said the properties would be removed by the council so they do not become a hazard at the popular tourist beach.
