Baby Wipes

Water companies say wet wipes don't break down and as a result, are blocking sewers, costing them and tax payers £90 million each year.

There's been a 400% rise in the number of wet wipes found on our beaches here in the West Country. One charity says marine life is at risk.

A water company has accused manufacturers of costing them millions in blockages caused by flushed wipes - some are labelled "flushable".
