Demolition of landslip affected chalets at Monmouth Beach after further rain and landslips of the undercliff during February damaged more chalets and affected water supplies. A major slip occurred on 11th Feb as reported by the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-21414722 and further movement is still being monitored. At least 11 chalet sites have been lost or are unsafe. There were three where the pile of rubble is left of centre. See Image for a picture taken at the end of January and use the electricity supply pole as a reference.
