One in 10 neighbourhoods across the South West has pollution levels deemed unsafe for wildlife, Friends of the Earth (FoE) has said.

The Isles of Scilly is the only authority in the region where air, water, noise or light pollution does not present a risk to nature, new data from the charity claims.

Across the South West, one in 10 neighbourhoods "breached safe pollution levels" in the four categories scrutinised by FoE, which said the levels threatened the future survival of species, including pollinating bees and native bats.
