Knipe Point landslip: More could crumble - COMMENT ON THIS STORY
WORK to shore up the cliff top at Scarborough's Knipe Point could cost nearly £20 million according to a new report – which warns of "further movement" of the landslip.
The document suggests that consultation with interested parties begin immediately so that work can start on safeguarding the 56 bungalows still at risk of slipping into the sea, along with a section of the A165 Filey Road.
It will be discussed by Scarborough council chiefs next week, examining the options for stabilising the cliff near Cayton Bay.
But one resident does not believe the council will spend so much money to safeguard his home.
John Robinson said: "I don't think they'll throw that sort of money at Knipe Point, and I think my neighbours would agree. Nobody's been helping us and we're not being told anything."
