Another home in Hemsby has been demolished as the village's coastline continues to crumble following a failed bid for coastal defence funding. 

The demolition happened yesterday morning in the Marrams to prevent it from collapsing into the sea, the sixth such demolition this year.

Hemsby Lifeboat coxswain Daniel Hurd said: "The biggest fear is that a lot more is going to happen and a lot more properties are going to go into the sea.

"We've got a lifeboat shed that is going to end up going in as well, so the lifeboat service will end up folding in."

It comes shortly after the village lost a bid for £15m of government funding to build a new rock berm due to "significantly higher" costs than expected.

Mr Hurd took aim at the decision, saying: "Why is Hemsby not getting any of this money? It's just not right.

"It is very sad for the owners that have already lost everything."

He said the loss of funding has left locals feeling "abandoned" as winter looms.
