Rubble and debris on the cliff top after homes were demolished following coastal erosion in Thorpeness, Suffolk
TV producer Lucy Ansbro said it was “too painful” to speak about the loss of her home in Thorpeness, Suffolk.
She had spent around £500,000 on rock defences in 2021 but this week her home was demolished following erosion over the weekend.
Two homes in Thorpeness were demolished last year, and two more have been demolished this month.
Speaking in 2023 as she welcomed a new online map tool highlighting areas at risk from coastal erosion, Ms Ansbro said homeowners “need to know how quickly change can happen if you live on vulnerable parts of the coast”.
