[Sand Nuisance at Sea Palling]

1964 , Sea Palling (Norfolk)

Cat no. 213359

An Anglia Television news report on the problem of encroaching sand at Sea Palling.

Shifting sands from coastal dunes are a recurrent problem in the Norfolk village of Sea Palling. Whilst sea defences help to prevent further flooding and damage (such as that caused by the North Sea Floods of 1953, which killed seven residents), the village must contend with a flood of sand. Backyards, roads, driveways, amenities, caravans and even boats have succumbed to the shifting dunes. Interviewed by an Anglia correspondent, a local resident name Mr Icke, claims that past encroachments took six weeks to clear, with 'unofficial labour' being used to clear official access roads. He questions the attitude of the East Suffolk and Norfolk River Board, who refuse to take responsibility, but praises Smallburgh Council, who do their best to keep the public toilets clear of sand. The planting of Marram Grass is presented as a relatively straightforward solution, but with a financial cost attached, Icke seems unconvinced that the River Board will pay. The item concludes with more views of the encroaching dunes.
