Residents talk about how they are affected by a landslip of the cliff at Overstrand, Norfolk.

A BBC East news story for ‘Look East’ presented by Penny Bustin. A photo of a rainbow shows the view from Alan Morton’s bungalow on Clifton Way, Overstrand. At the time the photo was taken, the cliff edge was 150 yards away, but now the distance is 25 yards because of a landslip caused by streams within the ground. Mr Morton talks about reassurances from the District Council about land stability six years earlier, and the requirements for insurance payment. The area affected by the recent landslip is shown over an aerial photograph taken the previous summer. A section of the road to the promenade has fallen away. Ted and Annie Woods are concerned about the watercourse through a pond behind their bungalow and the worry keeps Ted awake at night. Annie says they had hoped this was their final home. A man representing North Norfolk District Council talks about plans to stabilise the area. A woman says residents are terrified. Scenes of the landslip and the area where the road has fallen away.
