Coast path future 'uncertain' after landslide

The future of a coast path is uncertain, following a "serious" landslide.

Two landslides have occurred at Ladye Bay, near Clevedon in North Somerset.

It has been closed since the first landslide in December and another hit the area in February.

A temporary diversion is currently in place for visitors, and North Somerset Council and Natural England are working to create a new permanent path away from the danger area.
