This government spent £300 million on the Rwanda scheme. (When not 1 plane has even taken off).

my Mother told me never to buy a house near the sea or at the bottom of a hill...a very wise woman...

“ a community on edge “ hilarious😂

It’s strange that across the same water the Netherlands doesn’t lose houses to the sea. In fact the Netherlands is always expanding as it claims land from the sea to build and farm on. The Netherlands is twice the size it was 400 years ago.

Well.....There goes the neighbourhood.

in my island our government built natural defences to protect its beaches, land and property owners. Here, in a developed UK, they are struggling let alone pile a few stones over the beach. feel sorry for the homeowners. why the govt is providing £30m to an energy company instead of saving its coast for £20m?

There is not a lot the government can do about Mother Nature

[@paullancaster7066]

Of course she had to pump out the ClymateChange bs into an ordinary-occuring scene in coastal areas for millions of years!

[@stratfordbaby]

Angry at who??? Get real. That's called living too close to the cliffside. This is just poor land management.

[@nikita5662]

There shouldn't be houses condos , commercial bldgs 300 meters from the shore line.

[@SuperKiko112]

Well they wanted that sea view so bad

[@stevo6430]

Well these people wanted an ocean view from their living room, well they got.

Home owned by owner falls into the sea = homeowner has to pay clean up costs.

[@grantevans5752]

Cliff !!!!! more like sand banks

[@bv3bv334]

20 million...we hand that out to migrants every few days!

[@alanb9337]

Look up some of the projects that have used tetrapods and Xblocs as part of coastal protection projects.

Can't get Alan partridge out of my head

Severely Sun Burnt reporting holds zero value on these shores.......

I first visited Hemsby thirty years ago the loss of coastline there over this time period has been quite dramatic. I would like to know just how far the government is prepared to loose land in Norfolk before it decides to take action. Colchester town extracts drinking water from the broads , it will only require a couple of really big storms to destroy this source and the fresh water resource that is the broads. Natural gas still comes ashore on the north Norfolk coast defence works have been carried out there I wonder why? It must be remembered that it is not just homes and farm land at risk but also the areas wild life. The RSPB who have purchased large tracts of the Norfolk Broads and wrested control of the Broads Authority seem to be rather apathetic when it comes to influencing government thinking. Perhaps it suits their purpose to see Great Yarmouth washed away and the broads to become salt marsh. The argument that folk knew they would lose their land and homes is just a little too simplistic there is much more at stake here. Consider the building material extraction business worth millions and costing other people millions. Or the possible loss of the offshore wind farms should long shore drift be curtailed, yep not so simple. I can guarantee it will not be fixed in my life time.if ever.

We have a mountain of old car tires ! instead of paying millions to store them why don't they chain them together to form a protection barrier for these soft cliffs ! two birds with one stone springs to mind ! then perhaps I'm a tad nieve !
