People have been asked to share their experiences of living on one of the fastest eroding coasts in Europe.

Workshops have been set up following the release of new maps which provide updated forecasts of the scale and impact of erosion on the East Riding of Yorkshire.

According to the local authority land is lost at an average rate of up to 15ft (4.5m) per year.

Councillor Barbara Jefferson said: "It's vital that we work together to plan a long-term future for our coastal communities."

Residents and businesses attending the events will have the opportunity to share their priorities and concerns and discover how they can participate in planning the future of their coastal communities.

The events are funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs as part of the £200m Flood and Coastal Innovation Programme.

In 2023 the council secured £15m of funding to tackle the effects of erosion and held similar events for local people.

A year later a report warned that about 1,100 properties along the East Yorkshire coast could be lost to erosion by 2055.

The Environment Agency said that if preventative measures, such as sea defences, were not built, the figure could be five times greater and found that 115,200 properties were at high or medium risk of flooding from rivers and the sea in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

Last year the council agreed to contribute £800,000 to a new housing development for people in East Yorkshire who were displaced by coastal erosion.

Jefferson added: "I highly encourage local residents to book their place for these workshops so they are able to attend, and share their priorities and concerns about this vital issue."
