Work is underway to move the steps down to a popular beach after "significant" erosion.

The new steps at Birling Gap in East Sussex will have a "safer anchorage" as close to the cliff edge as possible, Wealden District Council said.

During the winter storms of 2013/14, seven years of erosion was said to have taken place in just three months.

"Up to four metres of cliff were lost in one day," Wealden Councillor Claire Dowling said.

More than 350,000 people visit the cliffs at Birling Gap each year but while the work is taking place, people will not be able to go down to the beach.

Depending on the weather, the council hopes it will be finished by the end of November, "before the coming winter storms".

Now that Henry Bolton, UKIP’s new leader, has revealed he’ll stand in a seat at the next general election the question is which one?

He says he doesn’t want to be “imposed” on a local party and in the process casually throwing shade at Paul Nuttall and his unsuccessful attempts in Stoke-on-Trent and Boston and Skegness.

UKIP’s new leader lives in Folkestone which is Conservative Damian Collins’ seat and he has a majority of over 15,000 so that is a big up-hill battle.

Then there is Nigel Farage’s old stomping ground in South Thanet which he also failed to win despite getting over 16,000 votes in the 2015 general election. He lost out to Conservative Craig Mackinlay by around 2,000 votes. Following in the footsteps of Mr Farage to fight Mr Mackinlay for the seat in 2017 was UKIP’s Rev Stuart Piper and he only got just under 3,000 votes.

It goes to show there isn’t a rich seam of seats Mr Bolton can pick from. It will take a lot of work and activists giving up their spare time to shove leaflets through doors in order to build up the base again.

Mr Bolton will be looking closely for a seat with potential. He’ll want to avoid being added to the list of UKIP leaders who failed to get a parliamentary seat.

Video encourages people to test their smoke alarms weekly but they are "not expected to do the lift".

A man and woman have appeared in court to face charges after a toddler suffered serious injuries in a dog attack.

The 18-month-old girl was attacked in the Jenkins Dale area of Chatham on 4 April.

Maidstone Crown Court heard Thornton, of Ryde Close, Chatham, and Eldridge, of Hawthorn House, Gorse Avenue, Chatham, would stand trial on 13 August 2018.
