Last night people were witnessed getting close to the edge despite a number of warnings issued by HM Coastguard that the area is extremely unstable.
Graham Easton from HM Coastguard said, "Keep well away from the cliff edges and likewise keep clear of the areas below the cliffs as well as there is the potential for more cliff falls, especially at Seaford.

"Not only are people risking their own lives by going close to the edge, they are also risking the lives of Coastguards and other emergency services who would go in and rescue them if they got into difficulty. This is an extremely unstable area and without doubt, lives are being put at risk."
