The lock on Preston Docks is choked with at least 50m of litter which has travelled down the River Ribble.

The water is choked with plastic bottles, driftwood and even car tyres as far as the eye can see.

It is understood the debris was blown into the holding area in Preston, Lancashire, by strong winds overnight.

Photographer Donna Clifford, 38, spotted the debris yesterday (12).

She said: “It was really windy so I thought I would go down and photograph waves in the dock.

“Someone told me about the litter. He said he’s lived there 20 years and never seen it that bad.

The rubbish was brought in via the tidal river and gathered in the Bull Nose – a containment area of water between the river and the marina.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
