So nice to know the beach will be littered for weeks so that someone can extract a bit of profit....Worthing Borough Council's Wendy Knight said the owners of the cargo had appointed separate contractors to find a market for the timber.
She said over the coming weeks the timber would eventually be piled on an area of the beach from where buyers could collect it.
Apparently us council tax payers will foot the bill, and the council 'hopes' it will get the money back from the insurance companies within 5 years!!Bet they end up giving it away, its the cheapest way of clearing up the mess and the insurance company wont pay out if their selling it.
Well thank god it's not the income taxpayer then, I dont want to pay for someone elses beach to be cleared up!Apparently us council tax payers will foot the bill, and the council 'hopes' it will get the money back from the insurance companies within 5 years!!Bet they end up giving it away, its the cheapest way of clearing up the mess and the insurance company wont pay out if their selling it.
WTF didn't they just allow people to take it, in a controlled way, which would cost a fraction of the amount!
But of course, they'll always have the 'Health & Safety' regs to hide behind...

Of course the huts wouldn't have been at risk if the numpty's hadn't piled up the wood right next to them...Firefighters are tackling a large fire in wood that was washed ashore on a West Sussex beach.
Nearly 50 firefighters were called to the blaze at Worthing which is believed to have been started on purpose.
There were fears the fire would spread to nearby wood piles and beach huts but crews were aided by an offshore breeze
which one...local rag says they are going to put it into piles and sell it off from the beaches
