It's been compared to a graveyard
Owners of boats along a protected shoreline in Wirral will be given three months' notice to contact Wirral Council or face seeing them cleared from the beach. This follows a four year campaign by a councillor and local people over fears wrecked and rotting boats could harm an internationally protected area. Wirral Council is preparing to take action to clear wrecks and other mess off the Heswall shoreline after people have dumped their boats there.
£100,000 of funding was agreed to clear the boats earlier this year and according to Heswall councillor Andrew Hodson, the worst boats higher up on the beach are expected to be cleared at the end of the summer. The local authority needs to get consent from a number of different organisations to move forward and will only work on the boats above the high water line for now. Cllr Hodson said: “It’s a graveyard for wrecked boats.
