A huge landslip in Bournemouth has damaged a cliff lift and crushed a toilet block. A stretch of the cliff in East Cliff fell away at 05:00 BST taking with it an array of fencing and benches. Luke Watkins, assistant senior ranger for Bournemouth Borough Council, said: 'It's one of the largest slips I've seen.' No-one was injured but the area has been cordoned off by the authority. More movement is expected at the site over the next two days. [From Mark Bartlett]
