Clifftop residents told to leave because Storm Goretti could destroy their homes
Residents of 14 clifftop homes in Hemsby, Norfolk, have been told to leave because Storm Goretti leaves them in danger of "imminent collapse" onto the beach below.
The owners of properties on the Marrams and Fakes Road have been told evacuation is necessary on Thursday night and over the weekend because of the risk of cliff falls. Great Yarmouth Borough Council said: "We have been liaising closely with people affected by erosion in Hemsby for some time, but the recent spate of storms and forecast of further damage from Storm Goretti means some properties are now in an even more precarious position.
''It is extremely traumatic for those affected, but coastal experts say there is a real risk of collapse." The council - the local coastal management authority - said on Thursday that more than 10m (32ft) of land had already been "lost to erosion in recent bad weather". The risk of "further substantial damage from Storm Goretti" over the coming days meant the properties faced "imminent collapse.
