Coastal sea defences are moved to try to protect Norfolk village.

It is one of the most eroded parts of our coastline and, today, work started on the latest attempts to save the village of Happisburgh in Norfolk.

The area is classed as 'no active intervention' in the government's shoreline management plan but the work to move the existing granite sea defences a hundred yards back towards the crumbling cliffs should give the village a little more time.

The work is due to take up to 12 weeks and is costing the district council between £60,000 and £75,000. It means the west end of the beach will be closed to visitors but the bay will remain open.
