There are desperate calls in Hemsby for the funding for coastal flood defences to be found urgently. High tides over the weekend have eroded at least two more metres of sand cliff. An access road and water main have been damaged, another house is said to be close to the cliff edge. Approval has been granted for permanent new defences - but £15 million is needed to build them. Edd Smith spoke to Lorna Bevan from campaign group Save Hemsby Coastline. Brandon Lewis, MP for the Great Yarmouth constituency, said: "I have made contact with the council to receive an update on what steps are being taken to ensure that residents stay safe, by themselves and the owners of the beach."
