Two homes remain vacant after thirteen properties were evacuated following two landslides on the East Sussex coast on Sunday.

The first landslide happened between West Hill Road and Marina, St Leonards, at about 01:32 GMT, and the second was nearby just before 21:00 GMT.

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said a wall had collapsed. Hastings Borough Council said a structural engineer used a drone to help assess the situation.

Residents of 11 properties have been allowed to return, but two remained vacant on Tuesday morning.
