A council has issued a safety warning after a cliff fall near a holiday park.

East Suffolk Council said the cliff fall close to Pontins at Pakefield, near Lowestoft, Suffolk, was reported on Monday afternoon.

It said it was "extremely dangerous to walk close to the cliffs, or climb on them" and urged people to take the "utmost care if visiting this part of Pakefield beach".

The council said warning signs would be put in place "as soon as possible".
