Laybys closest to the cliff edge near Eastbourne have been closed for safety reasons.

Residents noticed cones and bollards being put up to stop cars getting into the laybys along Beachy Head Road earlier this week (August 10).

Normally the laybys are popular with people wanting to enjoy the South Downs. However, people often get too close to the edge to get photographs which always sparks new warnings from authorities about the dangers of cliff falls and what can happen if you stand near the edge.
