New Forest District Council says it extended the cordon amid "ongoing vandalism" of safety measures.

A slice of the bluff along West Cliff Drive dropped into the sea in recent days as a massive tidal surge and winter storm pounded the coastline.

Footage captured by an onlooker shows the moment a large section of cliff crumbled in front of people walking along an Essex beach.

One resident said cliff stabilisation would only act as a temporary "stopgap" against "relentless" natural erosion.
