Motion text

That this House expresses serious concern at the escalating coastal erosion in Hemsby, Norfolk, which continues to destroy homes and community infrastructure; notes that this crisis threatens not only local residents but also the wider regional economy, as Hemsby’s beaches and holiday locations are a cornerstone of Norfolk’s tourism industry, drawing thousands and thousands of visitors and generating millions of pounds in annual revenue; further notes that each year of inaction risks further economic loss, displacement of residents and irreversible damage to one of Britain’s most popular coastal destinations; and therefore calls on the Government to bring forward a properly funded coastal protection plan for Hemsby, and to recognise that preserving Hemsby’s coastline is both an environmental necessity and an economic imperative for Norfolk and the nation as a whole.
