Norfolk Cliff Top Bungalow To Be Demolished
A house left hanging over a cliff edge after last week's tidal surge in Norfolk will be demolished.
Last Thursday, a severe tidal surge caused massive coastal erosion, something which is not expected for another 20 years.
The erosion left the cliff top bungalow sticking out over the edge of the cliff.
The house was the last one left on the cliff top, with all other homes claimed by coastal erosion.
Colwyn Bay Pier To Be Demolished
Councillors have decided to demolish Colwyn Bay pier, bringing five years of uncertainty to an end.
A report commissioned to investigate the feasibility of restoring the pier found that it would cost some £15m to restore the Grade II-listed structure.
Jury Told To Ignore PM Comments
A jury has been told to ignore comments made by the Prime Minister about Nigella Lawson.
The jury are sitting in the fraud trial of two former personal assistants to Nigellla and Charles Saatchi.
It is understood that the jury has now been told to ignore comments made by David Cameron in an interview which could be viewed as "favourable to Ms Lawson".
