Warning signs and tape

 

So why the tape and signage? It happens every year and it is a natural process. 

Just some of the questions the team were asked whilst working at Sheps Hollow yesterday. 

The fall yesterday whilst small to start with maybe have been the start of something bigger.  The concern was less than a minute before about 3 tonnes of rock fell someone was walking right on the spot to get around the groyne which is about five feet high.  In fact the slip happened as they stepped off the rocks the other side. 

You could see further cracks developing and movement whilst you stood there. 

The role of the Coastguard is to assess and report back to the council and today an engineer will attend the site. 

As we said the cliff falls will continue , we advise you stay clear of any cliff base as debris can fall at any time. 

In a coastal emergency call 999 Coastguard.
