Businesses at a Norfolk seaside resort hit by coastal erosion are calling on visitors to support them this Easter weekend.

Five homes have been demolished over the past week after recent stormy weather caused the cliffs to crumble.

Community leaders said, while the town was still recovering, businesses were open and they needed people to continue to visit the area.

Lorries have brought loads of sand to the beach to help restore it and fill a gap left between the beach and lifeboat shed.

Other properties continue to be monitored closely by the council.

Walkers have been warned to stay away from the area to the east of The Marrams road and the beach below the cliffs, where the worst of the erosion has been.
