St Leonards: Residents forced to leave homes after landslip

Residents in the small town of St Leonards have been forced to leave their homes after a landslip occurred in the area. The landslip, which happened on Monday night, has left several homes in a precarious position and authorities have deemed it unsafe for residents to remain in the area.

Emergency services are currently on the scene assessing the situation and residents are being offered temporary accommodation until the area is deemed safe for them to return. It is unclear how long residents will be displaced for, but authorities are working around the clock to ensure their safety and provide support.

The landslip is believed to have been caused by recent heavy rainfall in the area, which has loosened the ground and led to the movement of soil and rocks. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of proper infrastructure and maintenance to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

Our thoughts are with the residents of St Leonards during this difficult time and we hope for a swift resolution to the situation so they can return to their homes as soon as possible.
