It is hoped that beach disorder may be resolved due to the new signage

Signage at a popular Norfolk tourist beach has become a heated topic for caravan and chalet owners in the area.

Snettisham beach has become a hotspot for people visiting the area but for the past four years they have been told by nearby residents that they face prosecution for trespassing if they do not leave, EDP24 reports.

Norfolk County Council (NCC) had erected signage warning people not to walk there but Snettisham Parish Council has insisted that it is common land. The pair will now come together to discuss a solution to the problem.

Eric Langford, parish council chairman, told the news provider: “Pressure will be applied on a NCC working group of members to resolve once and for all the access signage scandal and subsequent lawlessness that exists at Snettisham beach.

“This area is common land. There can be no private land on a common.”

Snettisham beach is a great spot for holidaymakers and lies just over 12 miles away from King’s Lynn.
