'About time there were some penalties' - Beach Buddies
The founder of environmental charity Beach Buddies says it's 'about time there were some penalties' for people who deliberately release helium balloons.
A law was introduced last year banning the release of the items but concerns have been raised about if it can be enforced.
One farmer, whose lamb died after choking on a helium balloon, has called for a total ban.
Bill Dale says he won't go that far but would like to see action taken against those who deliberately pollute:
Disruption for motorists in Kewaigue area from Monday
Man who sexually assaulted sleeping woman jailed
2025 a 'record year' for SPC
More than £5000 raised for life-saving heart screenings
