Dozens of families on the east coast of England could be forced to abandon their homes as coastal erosion threatens to doom their properties to the sea. A recent report by climate group One Home estimated that coastal homes in England worth a total of _584million could be lost to cliff collapses by 2100. The report accounts for 2,218 homes across 21 coastal communities that have been brought closer to crumbling cliffs over the years. Some homeowners expressed nervousness about having children stay overnight while others say they are too scared to cut the grass holding together the narrow stretches of turf along the cliff edges. Grenadier Guard Lance Martin, 65, is among the householders in Hemsby, Norfolk who may be forced to move homes.

He said: 'We can't stop global warming, we can't stop coastal erosion, EvdEN Eve NAKLiYaT but we can slow it down. We're trying to buy time so people like Lance don't have to worry. 'Every time a storm hits the residents are nervous that they may have to walk away from their house with nothing but a carrier bag. 'That's the mental health impact we're talking about.
These people deserve to get a good night's sleep - a rock berm will buy us 25 years. That's enough time for people to decide what they want to do with their house and with their lives.' Thirteen miles up the coast is Happisburgh, Norfolk, a village that has also experienced the loss of more than an entire street and 34 homes in the last 20 years.
