Beaches reopened after washed-up 'white pills' declared non-toxic

A three-mile stretch of beach at Hunmanby Gap has been reopened to the public following a clean-up of material washed ashore.

The beach was closed from Wednesday afternoon after a dog walker found what he thought were white pills.

Tests have indicated the material is non-toxic and posed no risk to the public.

Scarborough Borough Council will continue to monitor the situation.

Andy Skelton, the head of environmental services, said: "Cleansing staff have worked hard to remove as much of the product as possible."
