183 Unsafe Coastal Homes Cleared Since 2010

At least 183 homes in Yorkshire and East Anglia have been deliberately knocked down since 2010 because coastal erosion — the sea wearing away land — made them unsafe, figures from nine councils obtained by The Guardian show. East Riding cleared 66, Great Yarmouth cleared 64 in Hemsby. The work cost £1.1 million, including about £482,000 from the Environment Agency.
