Hayle Harbour silting 'is dangerous'
BBC Radio Cornwall
The channel into the port used to be kept clear through a process called sluicing but that hasn't been done since the 1980s.
John Bennett, chairman of the Hayle Harbour Advisory Committee, said: "Coming across the bar at the entrance to the harbour is dangerous. You get caught on it, you get turned sideways and boats get flipped over, and we've had a death."

Did we all see Hayle back on the map in spotlight today? Apparently there's a big kick off about the harbour being left to ruin and soon to be useless as a harbour.
