A warning has been issued after another cliff fall.

A section of the cliff in Newhaven crumbled this week, prompting a new warning from Lewes District Council.

The council said that the cliffs are "unstable" and can "crumble without warning", so residents should stay away from cliff edges and bases.

A spokesman for the council said: "Following recent cliff falls in Newhaven, Peacehaven and Seaford, we are reminding all residents and visitors to stay well clear of cliff edges and bases.

"The cliffs are unstable and can crumble without warning at any time of year.

"This is a natural process and part of the evolution of the cliffs.

"Always take particular care and keep children and pets close when visiting the coast."

Visitors should check tide times before walking along beaches at the base of cliffs and should call 999 and ask for the coastguard if they see someone in danger.
