Norfolk Coastal Road Collapses into Sea Amid Storms

Residents left stranded as power lines fall and water supply is cut off in Hemsby.

A 200-metre stretch of coastal road in Hemsby, Norfolk collapsed into the sea due to violent storms and high tides, causing significant damage and leaving more than a dozen homes stranded.
Power lines were brought down by the collapse, leaving about 20 homes without water after a utility pipe was ripped out.
Residents have been warned to stay away from the area due to very dangerous conditions, with further collapse expected.
The local pub, The Lacon Arms, has become a refuge for some residents, many of whom are unable to access their homes or vehicles.
Hemsby had previously been denied government funding for sea defences, despite the village's vulnerable location and ongoing issues with coastal erosion.
