Two weeks after successfully moving his cliff-edge house, a retired soldier in Hemsby is still rebuilding his home.
After days of high tides and strong winds, Lance Martin's Marrams home teetered on the edge of an eroding cliff. With help from nearby residents, Mr Martin was able to move his house on Thursday, March 16.
While his house is safe from immediate threat, Mr Martin is now going through the painstaking process of straightening the structure.
Mr Martin said: "It's been a massive achievement and a lot of hard work by all those involved. I couldn't have done it without them."
The flooring has had to be ripped up, and the house needs to be rewired before it can be lived in again.
Mr Martin, who is currently staying elsewhere, said it will still be "a while" before he can move back into his home. While Mr Martin focuses on getting his home back to a liveable condition, he remains only metres from the cliff edge.
Plans for a rock berm providing decades of protection from the sea were granted licence last week. However, funding has yet to be secured.
Mr Martin said: "Somebody needs a kick and a reminder that we pump £88m into the local economy each year. If this cliff goes, Fakes Road and St Marys Road will be next. Then it's all gone.
"We need that rock berm. Forget the red tape.
Kevin Jordan, 69, has been a resident of the southern end of The Marrams for 13 years.
After the recent storms, his home and six others now sit around five metres from the cliff edge.
However, for Mr Jordan - who has mobility issues due to a benign tumour in his foot - the main concern is the lack of vehicle access following the collapse of part of The Marrams road.
"It's made so many more things a struggle," he said.
"From emergency services to bin collections, grocery shopping and even the post, it's been one thing after another."
Mr Jordan and other residents have recently cleared a footpath at the back of their property. But access to some essential services remains uncertain.
"We're the forgotten seven up here," he said.
"It feels we're being held for ransom. I've not slept much, just waiting for the next storm to take our homes.
"We need that £15m now."
Two weeks ago, 400 people attended an emergency meeting held by Save Hemsby Coastline (SHC) and Hemsby Independent Lifeboat. SHC and the Lifeboat put forward plans to petition the government and demonstrate outside Westminster.
Currently, nearly 4,000 people have signed the petition.
Lorna Bevan, SHC co-founder and manager of the Lacon Arms Family Restaurant Pub said: "It's vital we take this message to the government.
"We need to change policy to allow authorities to help us more easily. We need to keep pushing.
"The rocks underneath Lance's home prove homes will still be standing after storms. Protection does work.
"But we can't wait 20 years.
"Hemsby contributes £88m a year, and we estimate this part of the coast provides £180m of income annually. That warrants £20m of investment to safeguard the coastline.
"This is a beautiful area and we not prepared to just let it go."
On Friday, surplus rocks from Hopton were being placed on Hemsby beach, forming a temporary sea defence. It is thought the rock placement will be finished on Saturday, with final tweaks expected on Sunday.
While works take place, access to the beach by the Gap remains closed - but the beach remains accessible from other areas.
