There's a warning to keep off the coastal path by West Weares on Portland.

Dorset Council's Erosion Risk Management Team are concerned about some sinkholes that have developed there.

It's thought they could be the start of a larger cliff failure there.

The footpath's been closed from Priory Corner to Tout Quarry.

We're asked to obey the closure signs and not to use the footpath there, for our own safety.
