Access to a beach in Norfolk has been restored following damage during several weeks of severe weather. 

The ramp on to Happisburgh beach has been recut after around six metres of coastline was lost during Storm Ciarán and Storm Babet.

The storms wreaked havoc across the county with many homes evacuated and businesses forced to close for several weeks. 

Recent strong winds and high tides have also battered the coastline with some parts of Norfolk seeing roads collapse into the sea.

Coastal defences were constructed along the north Norfolk coast, including Happisburgh, between the 1950s and 1970s, but they were only designed to last 20 to 30 years and the government never planned to renew them.

The cliffs at Happisburgh are also a Site of Special Scientific Interest, requiring permission to build any new defences as it is a protected natural environment.

The car park in Beach Road, which brought in more than £70,000 for the parish council last year, is under threat as it may be forced to close if access is cut off due to erosion.
