Discarded items scattered across Marine Drive cliffside
Piles of discarded rubbish have been seen littering the cliffside at one of the Island's popular beauty spots.
A recurring issue along Marine Drive, in recent days Manx Radio has seen dozens of fly-tipped items including a fridge, construction refuse and bin-bags.
The east coast route linking Douglas and Port Soderick is something of a wildlife haven, home to all manner of species such as peregrine falcons.
Bill Dale from the Manx charity Beach Buddies says it appears that there's nothing that will stop people committing these offences:
In 2021 Marine Drive was designated as an Area of Special Scientific Interest, meaning it's home to special fauna, flora, or geological or physiographical features in the context of the Isle of Man.

Visitors along the stretch of road told Manx Radio they'd like to see more action taken against those who abandon their rubbish in the area.
Manx Radio has approached the Isle of Man Constabulary, the Department of Infrastructure, and Braddan Commissioners for comment.
