WARNINGS not to use Totland sea wall have been re-emphasised by the Isle of Wight Council after  further damage due to land movement.

The council said last month that the sea wall, popular with walkers, could be closed for months after large cracks appeared following a landslide.

A spokesman said today (Tuesday) there had been further damage and the area remained closed for safety reasons.

The Isle of Wight Council has produced a video of the damage, which can be viewed below:
