Work's underway to rebuild the beach at West Bay in Dorset after several metres were eroded during the recent storms.

High tides combined with strong onshore winds also caused havoc on the coast. The weather has also caused two cliff falls nearby.

The Environment Agency is using diggers to move the shingle.

Parts of the west beach are closed for safety while the work is carried out.
