Council tell resident to stop saving his property as it hangs on crumbling cliff

A defiant old soldier whose home faces tumbling into the sea has been ordered to STOP doing his own DIY work to protect his property. Lance Martin, 61, had been using a mechanical digger to transfer concrete blocks and piling up sand at the base of a crumbling cliff to protect his bungalow. This comes after a number of nearby homes perched on a cliff edge were evacuated and demolished in the aftermath of the 'Beast from the East' storm earlier this year. Bungalows were left hanging from the edge of the clifftop at the Marrams, in Hemsby, Norfolk, where some began toppling into the sea in March.
