Pulling down of coastal houses because of erosion ‘will harm Norfolk economy’

Councillor warns of damage to tourism industry as four homes in danger of toppling on to the beach are marked for demolition

A councillor has warned that continued erosion of a Norfolk coastline could cause a dramatic decline in the local economy, after a seaside home was demolished.

Several wooden properties, built on sand dunes at Hemsby, are perilously close to toppling into the sea due to coastal erosion.
