Ex-grenadier guard Lance Martin desperately battles to save his clifftop home from the eroding coast in Hemsby, Great Yarmouth.
Almost 100 homes in Hemsby, Norfolk are at risk of slipping into the sea. The government says it won't fund a sea defence scheme after costs rise by £5mResidents of a Norfolk village suffering from coastal erosion say they have been 'abandoned' by the government after it scrapped a defence scheme, even as a landslip left a home perched on the edge of a precipice.
Local authorities say that inflation had pushed the cost of the project from a reported £15million to £20million, ultimately leading to the offer of financial support being withdrawn; they now warn that the collapse of homes is 'inevitable'. A campaign group is crowdfunding to mount a legal challenge against the decision not to fund the coastal defence scheme
Campaign chair Mr Brennan, 63, told Norfolk Live: 'I know the borough council and our MP Brandon Lewis are saying that we haven't been abandoned but actually, that's how we feel.' The Save Hemsby Coastline campaign is now crowdfunding for a legal challenge against the decision not to fund the coastal defence.
'I haven't broken down yet. I crack on with it - there's nobody to blame, you just have to accept it and move on.' Homes in Hemsby have been torn down because of how close they are to the sea, which is eating away at the coast over time Some homes have already been demolished ahead of time, to prevent the detritus from being scattered across the ocean.Angie Wilson, 66, moved into her two-bedroom 1930's bungalow in Scratby, immediately next to Hemsby, in 2010 - but says she's likely to live there for as long as she can because she 'can't live forever'.
She said at the time: 'The council did come and help remove everything, but obviously it was a shock. 'Currently schemes of this cost and scale would only attract FDGIA where hundreds of homes are at risk.
