Bembridge Coastguard Rescue Team are advising members of the public to stay away from potential cliff falls and landslides following a second landslip in the area.
Coastguard Rescue Officers (CROs) conducted a visual check of the footpath BB10 between the Crab & Lobster pub and Howgate Road this afternoon (Saturday).
The feet-on-the-ground inspection found visable evidence of a cliff fall.
The Isle of Wight Council have been handed details of the location of the fall, which comes just days after the coastal path at Whitecliff Bay was severed by a large landslip.
A spokesperson for Bembridge CRT has said:
”We would strongly advise everyone to stay away from potential cliff falls or landslides”.
If you or someone else is in difficulty on the coast or at sea, or if you spot what you think may be unexploded ordnance, then dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Further safety information can be found at https://coastguardsafety.campaign.gov.uk/.

Another footpath closed for the foreseeable. The council as it is spending all our council tax looking after low life wasters in places like the Foyer, and the simple ‘never going to amount to anything’ in places like Ryde house or Haylands farm, cannot afford to maintain our roads, pavements and footpaths for the ‘normal’ people who DO pay their way in life and are not a constant drain on resources from cradle to grave.
I find your comment to be of utter crap and aimed hatred towards people with disabilities who are vulnerable you should keep your bigot views to yourself count your lucky that you are the said normal person!
Lol, sorry. I love how you seem to justify yourself as normal but all you do is troll on most news stories posted online regarding the Island. Normally your views come from a very narrow-minded and uneducated viewpoint. It’s my understanding that the support for “low lifers” is so vital because the system fails them during their early years via terrible schooling, lack of support throughout care etc. Their physical well-being is often promoted but their mental isn’t focused on.
If this support wasn’t here, maybe they’d hunt down nice people like yourself and squat in your house. Then you’d have some real problems ;).
Keep calm and carry on little man <3
Our….. Don’t you read the media !!?? People are suffering because of things DONE to them… NOT of their own fault!! All faiths ask that the vulnerable are taken care of… And I don’t mean the Nazi way !! One day it could be you !!
Wow you biter twisted person
These people at the Foyer are mostly young youths who have emotional illnesses and they need the support. Having a mental illness can be worse than a physical one. Please understand this. It’s horrible to call person with emotional disorders “wasters.” They go through a lot and are struggling with these illnesses like someone who would normally be given a hospital bed. Let build more hospitals for people with mental illness.
@az-zahra aziz,
with regards to Haylands farm/Ryde house residents – what is the alternative?
Those that brought them into the world either do not want them or cannot cope with them – unless “someone..ie the state” provides for them, then they will most probably all die of starvation in a pile of their own feces.
The foyer is not full of low life wasters… it is a place where teenagers who simply cannot live at home anymore for one reason or another and who do not make enough money to support themselves and cannot claim benefit as they are too young go to, rather than live on the streets.
sadly human beings do not produce “perfect” offspring each and every time – nature is not perfect – we simply manage the outcome as best we can.
you state “resources” – the people who work in these areas providing the support would all be unemployed if the funding stops.
Then what – they all get jobs at maccy d’s. Come on, FFS, the UK society is not the large manufacturer it once was – industries such as care and welfare are what have grown to fill the gap.
Fear of people with disablilites by any chance? If you can’t say anything nice about those who use places like Haylands farm don’t say anything at all. You are a very rude person and if you spent time with people with disabilies you would find them inspirational. So think in future before you speak
Wow what a end
What a nasty little individual you sound. Trying to link two things that are not relevant to each other. Budgets for coastal footpaths not connected to adult social services you stupid, spiteful idiot
Silbilly, aptly named, for that ‘is’ my point. That adult social services in ‘ring fenced’ and as the amounts of drug damaged young minds, and mentally ill adults grow from themselves or parents indulging, along with the ‘natural’ amount of unfortunates born each year, then the amount of cash left for ‘normal’ tax paying residents and those wishing to enjoy footpaths walks as they visit the Isle will only get worse year on year.
It is not as though the ill and simple are not catered for by central Gov. They get medical help, and extra money to pay for care.
I am questioning as to WHY we, the residents then via the council tax have to again ‘fund’ those who will never amount to anything (or one in a hundred) when they are already being catered for by the Gov aka the public anyway?
If there were no central Gov help, fine, but their is for basic needs, and IF they want ‘more’ this ought to come from charity NOT imposed burdens on us, when the money ought to be better spent on the masses not the ner’e do wells.
I have seen these paid carers take such simple teenagers out to the beach, the careers sit around smoking whilst the big teenager won’t even get out the car.
Waste of cash when the normal in society could use such for the good of many.
Charity should fund care work, as it is a luxury, not a necessity imo.
You seem to comment on anything and everything, I bet you don’t have a job or are just a dick head…..
Guess what! “ low lives” come from arrange of back grounds that impact people in different ways learn back story’s before you run your medievalist mouth off as for the “ The simple “ as you so kindly put it are defenceless and very caring unlike half whited egotistical, narcissistic, Pejorative people like you. Damn fool!
You talk about low life’s and being simple lol
I don’t think it is quite as ‘black-and-white’ as you try to make out.
The geology of the Isle of Wight has long known to be highly unstable, and when a section of cliff falls away, it is not just a simple matter of moving the footpath a few yards inland. A lot of this land is owned by people other than the Council, so to re-establish a footpath requires land purchase and/or legal agreement.
I used to walk from. Elmbridge to Sandown and back some years ago, and it was obvious that the ground was unstable. Great cracks would open in areas of seemingly ‘safe’ fields away from cliff edges, and periods of prolonged rain, or rain and then freezing temperatures play havoc with the structural integrity of the sub-soil. Plus, as many know, there are large zones of ‘Blue Slipper’ clay which defy any sort of stabilisation, shirt of installing vertical steel walls sunk from surface to subterranean levels. TOTALLY impractical and economically unviable. It is, unfortunately, sturdy taking its course.
Bit strongly worded! Don’t tar everyone in these institutions with the same brush. There are genuine people that need our help.
Clearly a lot of you don’t live near the place. Hardly frightened victims. But as society would now rather pay out millions to ‘save’ one good person, yet fund a hundred wasters in the process who will not ‘grow up grateful’ and become decent, but just see weakness to be exploited, then things will, as they are, just becoming ever worse, until society cannot afford to fund these people anymore.
I see by the comments on here how most think, and this then proves to me, that is WHY the UK is in the ‘mess’ it is with more criminals, as the benefit of doubt is always given, and the feral type use societies weakness to full advantage and then some.
I know there are genuine cases, I know there are vile people who are undeserving of such help too.
If such mini criminals, and the able bodied simple folk were utilised to repair footpaths etc, then perhaps we would all be satisfied that good money was not just be thrown away after bad.
But that would be too un PC for most now I fear. God help our nation now.
This thing that has written these comments should be educated in not being a vile piece of judgemental s**t. Your the the lowest of low in the human race. God forbid if anything happens to any of your family and leave them needing as we can guarantee your medieval mentality would leave them in a state that would only be recognised as abuse. The admin team should ban you from making comments. Total arse!
I do not dislike the disabled or unfortunate, my point is their money is ring fenced, but as the numbers of both grow year on year, and the fact that they only cost society, there is little cash left for normal, taxpayers little pleasures in life such as walking footpaths, as the limited cash available to the council is spent on the disabled and ‘unfortunate’.
As all of you seem to agree then, clearly that must be how society feels now. I feel that as many families get extra benefits for the handicapped, that they should be pay their way, not have the extra cash AND still expect the council to fund refuges for them as well.
Same with the Foyer, many are from broken homes, because ‘they’ broke them. Many despite being given a free heated home, and all that goes with it, will still be a drain on society for the rest of their lives. Whilst one or two ‘may’ come good, how many will not is what I question.
Whereas a footpath benefits the locals, and the holiday trade.
The growing ‘needy’ is an endless bottomless pit and will impoverish all if we don’t rein it in.
I seem to be alone in common sense, and as it is fashionable now to be super soft, it is no surprise our nation is growing ever more impoverished.
However I will say no more and respect the majority view taken.
Please say no more for eternity
If you really have a problem with how the Council are spending money and not just trolling for your own sad amusement, then why don’t you do something useful and take up the batton regarding how much money they waste on a crap floating bridge, their own bonuses or a new road layout that no-one wants. Just as a side note, I knew a lad that had to stay at the Foyer. He now runs his own electronics based business, could you clarify if he’s a ne’er do well or a ‘normal’ person. Now we’ve established that he is in fact ‘normal’ we need to consider what he would now be doing without the help from the Foyer. It really doesn’t take a lot of brain power to work out that as he is now paying into the system and not living off it, that this would allow more money to be spent on normal people just like yourself – oh and the lad in question. (Not me, I’m not normal). One person who is helped early on and goes on to support themselves is going to save the tax payer in the region of £40k per annum until retirement. Doesn’t seem so extravagant now does it you dick?
The path in question is always slipping away.
I’m rarely shocked, but the bigoted views of Az-zharia Aziz are truly appalling and nor far short of nazi vile propaganda.
Let’s hope you never find yourself in need, you pathetic individual. The work of the Foyer, Ryde House and Haylands farm do a fantastic job supporting the most needy in our island community.
I suspect this is not your name, I suspect you’re the waster and a bitter ignorant white man spouting your vileness.
I feel sad that this person has been indoctrinated by the alt-right. He/she needs to find new friends (or new websites to belong to). There’s hope for them yet.
