Coastal promenade closed after cliff-slip

A promenade has been closed after what the local council described as a cliff-slip along the Norfolk coast.

A section of sea wall at Overstrand near Cromer, which is commonly used as a promenade, has been closed by North Norfolk District Council.

Posting images on Facebook, the council warned people not to "cross the barriers or attempt to walk around the material".

A spokesperson said the section would be closed until further notice while the situation was assessed.

The spokesperson said "access from the clifftop" at either end remained open but "care should be taken".

Access to the beach was open at either end of the sea wall, but the public should "check tide times, as high tide reaches the sea wall".

"Please be aware that in the interest of public safety, the section is closed until further notice, while the council assesses the material slip and access issues," they added.

"Please do not cross the barriers or attempt to walk around the material."

It said the Norfolk Coast Path had been diverted by National Trails, to avoid the top of the cliff.

A sign erected on a barrier by the council reads: "Overstrand central promenade closed due to cliff slip. No through access at high tide."
