why did her son buy it for her then they knew they was buying a bargain as holiday homes with site fees etc cost just as much we looked at it but decided not to go ahead.

we looked at the house and decided not to buy it in the end it was a bargain price and if it lasts another 10 years it will be well worth it as the holiday homes for sale nearby are nearly the same price,and at least you dont have to pay site fees etc.

I do feel sorry for her but it is just nature!

It seems a shame that Mrs H's house will be lost when the cliff finally collapses and I feel a certain amount of sympathy for her...however she was well informed of the risks of buying the property in the first place! No matter how tempting the offer is, you DON'T buy a house positioned precariously at the edge of a cliff!Mrs H also seems to be unaware of the costs of simply "just delivering some more rocks"...it costs quite a large amount of money and instead of moaning about the lack of action from the council, why doesn't she invest in the sea defences herself?

I do have some sympathy with Mrs H, it is awful to loose ones home with no power to do anything about it. However she did knowingly take the gamble of making a 90k investment with the only return being a possible 20 years of home ownership.That her "gamble" is unlikely to pay off is of no surprise really. In this time of credit crunch with increasing numbers of people facing homelessness in some ways she is actually better off - at least she knew her odds would not pay out!That other forces are at work changing the local environment is of no surprise either, this is something we all live with every day one way or another. What I really object too however is the statement that WDC never has money to do anything really important. I'm not quite sure where she thinks this money magically comes from. It comes from you and I who work hard and pay our local and national taxes. And I for one would far prefer WDC to concentrate their limited resources on continuing to provide a good standard of housing to the 100s that cannot afford to gamble with 拢90000 in this way, to continue to provide their excellent recycling and refuse collection services, to continue to contribute to our local police and fire services to keep us all safe, to maintain safe play areas for our children, to provide dignified burial grounds for our dearly departed, and so on and so on. WDC does have its faults and I would rather they spent any spare cash on putting those right first, but all in all, for an economically deprived area they actually do a pretty good job of using their resources wisely on some rather more important things.Likewise with Central Government money. We are an Island people and islands constantly change shape. Its what happens, get over it. We are only human, we may think we can control everything but we can't. There will always be winners and losers and unfortunatly for Mrs H in this instance she is the latter and its nobodies fault- its nature.

This situation is a tradegy of our times. In fairness the people who bought such prorpeties should have done their homework or at least been aware that councils are governed by current financial climates and cant guarantee anything. But..on the other hand its unbelivable to think the government would allow parts of our coastline to be allowed to be lost to the sea. before the current credit crunch we were supposed to be one of the 10 richest nations and can splash out 拢100,000 annual wages to some council workers..fund idiotic consultant surveys which cost the same..build new unneeded buildings when older ones can be refurbished...splash out on millions of unwanted or needed road signs etc etc with good management millions could be save to cover coastal defenses. we owe it to furture generations to preserve areas of natural beauty..there are more reasons for than against!
