No one was hurt or killed when 1,000 tons of rock collapsed at East Beach yesterday. But it is extremely dangerous to be on or near cliffs when the wind is high and waves are strong. There is no minimum safe distance. Be wise: your life is not worth risking for a walk.

Look what we found. Our litter-picking trip to the River Parrett banks @WWTSteart paid off. Well done to everyone involved. #Somerset #plasticpollution

The sun was shining yesterday as we lifted the newly refurbished #Padstow tidal gate back into position. The gate was lifted into the harbour by a 300t crane and floated to the harbour entrance with help from Padstow Harbour Commissioners. Great work all involved.
