Storm Goretti has continued to shape conditions along the south coast, with council teams in Brighton and Hove spending recent days clearing shingle and debris washed ashore by high tides and strong winds. The storm moved large volumes of shingle onto promenades and access points while also bringing ashore loose items linked to shipping containers lost near the Isle of Wight last year. Consumer goods and food items have appeared along parts of the seafront, prompting safety warnings. Brighton and Hove City Council says the materials are not classed as hazardous but may be contaminated by seawater or damaged container parts. Residents and visitors have been urged to keep away from the water’s edge while clearance work continues under difficult weather conditions.
