More than £400,000 is being spent on repairing flood defences which protect homes along a Devon estuary.

A 200m stretch of defences is being repaired at Dawlish Warren by the Environment Agency.

Rock-filled baskets along the sand dunes act as the "backbone" to protect the warren from the sea, a spokesman said. The work will last three months.

The money will replace the baskets which have been damaged and exposed by the sea, he added.
