The coast between Shanklin and Luccombe remains particularly unstable following a notable landslide earlier this week (Thursday). Island Echo understands that the movement occurred earlier this week between Shanklin and Luccombe. It was back in February that fears of an imminent landslip on the cliff edge at Rylstone Gardens forced the temporary closure of the beach – as previously reported by Island Echo. No closure has been imposed by the Isle of Wight Council and as of the moment, access along the beach remains open.

Not a problem, Captiva Homes will be building some more homes soon on this

What, no, really? How? Stark Reminder told me, it’s all solid rock! It’s conspiracy I tell you, by the crooked council and the crooked, um, cleverer than me people to take away my RIGHTS and give them to lefty trans immigrant gypsy single muvvers on benefits with ADHD!
Or sumfink……I fink.
Recently I had to wait outside a disabled toilet in my wheelchair when eventually a “disabled “youth with ADHD emerged.
How did you know? Did you cross-question him on his disabilities or just guess?
Are you ok? Having a breakdown?
No, fine thankyou poppet. You?
The cliff has always been unstable since time began, in my opinion iwcc have no right to close any beach because of a unstable cliff. What they need to look at is water quality and other more important issues that matter to us
Where on the coast what do you expect!!
Lovely part of Shanklin, I fear it will collapse sooner rather than later, the residents of the Reach flats, among others on that road are very concerned….
It was the smallest of cracks in historic cracks already in Rylstone park that forced a totally insane response by The Council and people thanks to Echo still think Rylstone Park. Is closed is is not!! “‘The cracks are by the old Elvis memorial which has slipped every year in memorium and also the site of an historic Badger sett which caused some of cracks on surface in first place.. Get a grip Echo do some real journalistic work rather than sensational headlines which are affecting businesses in The Old Village thanks to your “Headline”? in February … Yes a few boulders tumbled Thursday but it will be ongoing all Summers thanks to historic rainfall of Winter/Spring.

A little less erosion……..
It really shouldn’t be ‘news’ that parts of a cliff have collapsed.
Cliffs, and cliffs falling into the sea, have been happening since the sea and land came together when the world was created.
That’s what cliffs do, that’s why they’re cliffs.
‘…the sea and land came together when the world was created.’
Umm…not quite. Sea has always settled in the dips of land causing erosion which form cliffs over time. Sometimes it from tectonic movement. It’s science, not creationism.
