A campaigner working to protect a Norfolk village from falling into the sea has made an emotional plea for more to be done to save it.
The rate at which Happisburgh is being lost to the sea is increasing, but the village is not just being attacked by the waves - surface water running off the land is also causing the cliffs to crumble.
The village in North Norfolk, has long been facing the threat of coastal erosion and climate change. In recent weeks the cliffs along the coastline have been the location of a number of landslides and cliff falls, leading authorities to issue several safety warnings.
“People have got reservations about it. We just hope it’s successful.”
Mr Mole called on Vattenfall to work with the village to reduce the ongoing erosion there, possibly by contributing to new sea defences.
Malcolm Kerby, from Happisburgh s Coastal Concern Action Group, said he was not worried about the effect of the drilling.
He said: “From my understanding they’re going to drill down and then horizontally, so they’re not going to disturb the cliff at all. I’ve got far greater concerns with the effects of climate change and rising sea levels.”
But Mr Kerby said the wind farms - which will have a planned lifespan of 25 years - would eventually feel the effects of erosion.
