Bits of the island are falling off. Undercliff has had a few problems, there is nowhere left to move this road to as there is a large cliff behind and a drop in front. The houses have been evacuated and it's unlikely that home owners will be allowed back.

Just looked at the unanswered posts and see this. Oh how terrible for the people who "live" there I don't know what they will do next. Is there any update?

It's a total farce I'm afraid. The homeowners want to move back in now the movement has stopped, in the end they had some road repairs done by paying for it themselves and then the local council had locked barriers put across the road to stop them getting back in. Meanwhile the council is faffing around talking about spending more on the survey than it would cost to make it all good. So these poor people are still not back in their homes.
