landslip

Mr Allen said he had never dealt with an engineering problem like it, since most landslips and sinkholes were created by naturally occurring geology.

In Argyll, the A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful is known for its potential for landslips.

Developer Dunedin Homes said the landslip was not a "simple, quick or easy fix", but that it was working on a temporary measure.

Warning signs have been put up and path closures are in place following a coastal landslip on the Isle of Wight.

Residents will be protected from landslips, with more than £34m being invested to improve safety at coal tip sites across Wales.
