Folkestone town sprucer Peter Phillips shows us inside the 'subway from hell'

Transcript

00:00 We had a member of the public, obviously from out of town,

00:04 was coming down these stairs, he was on his mobile phone.

00:07 We were in the bottom there, cleaning up,

00:10 and he looks up and he goes,

00:12 "What, what, what?"

00:14 You don't want to come in here, mate,

00:15 I guess it's not a good area, like.

00:17 Dog basket, for wiring, cassette cases,

00:20 there's bottles, glasses, there's jukebox stuff

00:24 that's been dumped here for some reason,

00:26 kids toys, plastic, and lots and lots of needles.

00:30 Cans, plastics, packaging from needles.

00:35 It's getting too bad for us to come down with two,

00:39 it's too dangerous, I won't send any teams down here.

00:43 And it's supposed to be regularly cleaned up,

00:45 we thought that was the case,

00:48 but it doesn't seem to be happening.

00:50 We've monitored for the last couple of months

00:52 and nothing's changed, and we're not going down here anymore.

00:55 - And what would you advise to anybody

00:57 who might find their way down here accidentally?

01:01 - Escape as quick as you can.
