Volunteers abseil 110m down cliff to collect fly-tipped waste in Cornwall
A team of volunteers has abseiled down a 360ft cliff to collect rubbish thrown over the edge.They found building materials, the remains of an old bathroom and kitchen appliances.Delia Webb, from Friends of Portheras Cove, said: "This is a wild and unique coast.
"We have breeding seabirds, we have a healthy population of grey seals, we have dolphins and porpoises locally - the impact of litter, debris and rubbish like this on the marine creatures and nesting birds is massive."Cornwall Council said fly-tipping was illegal and it would "usually prosecute anyone found to be doing it"
Tim Clarke, who was one of the Carbis Bay Crew who went down the cliff, said: "It's disgusting. There are skips up the road where they probably have to pay £5 to have it chucked away, and they refuse so they come down here and chuck it off the end of the cliff."Cornwall Council said fly-tipping was illegal and it would "usually prosecute anyone found to be doing it".
