Jenny Riddell-Carpenter, Suffolk Coastal MP, visited the village over the weekend with the Environment Agency to speak with affected residents, but warned other members of the public to stay away.
She told BBC Radio Suffolk’s Wayne Bavin that “lots of people” were travelling to the village to see the eroded cliffs.
“I appreciate there’s a lot of interest in this; these are families that are going through an incredibly hard time, but it’s also just not safe on the coast,” said the Labour MP.
“If you can stay away from the area it would help and it would give the families the dignity and the space they need to process what is going on.”
The Environment Agency said its role was to give advice and guidance, but it was aware of the effect the erosion was having on the community.
