England's east coast loses 183 homes to coastal erosion in 16 years

Guardian-obtained figures show at least 183 homes were demolished along Yorkshire and East Anglian coasts since 2010 after councils deemed them unsafe due to erosion and landslides. The proactive demolitions highlight accelerating climate-driven coastal retreat, though the pace of future losses and policy response remain uncertain. This underscores growing infrastructure and insurance pressures on vulnerable UK coastal communities.
