COUNCIL officers are being asked to analyse coastal erosion “hotspots” along the East Yorkshire coast so a dossier of evidence for more potential funding can be produced.

Recent studies found erosion rates on some stretches of coastline had more than doubled, but it has not been confirmed whether this is a normal pattern or linked to rising sea levels. Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart said: “I have asked East Riding of Yorkshire Council to do more work so we can better understand the areas most at risk.”
