Berry Head Quarry closed after anti-social behaviour

Gangs have been landing “industrial” quantities of mackerel and other fish at the site before selling them, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said.

It added: “On one recent weekend there was reportedly a fight in the quarry between members of an established gang and a group of newcomers.

“There have also been reports of rocks being thrown at seals to keep them away.”

A pioneering system of ropes and buoys have also been devised independently and used to disrupt fishing from the quarry.

Berry Head is part of Torbay’s UNESCO-recognised geopark and home to greater horseshoe bats.

The gangs have been disrupting the delicate habitat by putting up powerful lights, the LDRS said.
