Stay away: Another cliff fall on East Beach

Another cliff fall has fallen onto East Beach.

It is thought to have happened yesterday (Thursday) and people are urged to stay away and not climb on the rocks.

A spokesman for Dorset Council said: "This is a minor fall that was not from full height of the cliff. Our rangers will check the site and make sure signage is in place.

"Rock falls and landslips are part of the geological nature of the Jurassic Coast. Wave action will slowly break down and move the material along the coast. This will become shingle and sand on our beaches.

"People should not be near the cliff edges or bases and should not climb the rock fall, which is still unstable."

Local photographer Neil Barnes has taken a short video of the rockfall, which can be found on his Facebook page.

This follows a large cliff fall between Eype and West Bay in November and one at Burton Bradstock in December.
