00:00A long-running campaign to clear derelict boats from Awirral Beach has reached a key
00:06stage with removal work now underway. Wrecked vessels on Heswell shoreline have been described
00:12as dangerous and a potential risk to the protected de-estuary.
00:17Councillor Andrew Hodson said efforts over several years have led to action, with permission
00:22secured from authorities in both England and Wales. Some residents have supported keeping
00:27the boats, but officials say removal is needed to avoid pollution and possible fines. The
00:33estuary is a nationally significant wildlife site. Work includes safely lifting and removing
00:38the vessels to protect habitats, as well as preventing damage to the environment.
