Weston-super-Mare clean-up sees plastic turned into art

Beach cleaners

Volunteers were rewarded with a portion of chips for their work

Volunteer cleaners have been out in force to clean up a popular beach before the school holidays.

They collected litter and plastic discarded by holidaymakers on Weston-super-Mare’s beach.

Organiser Debbie Apted said: “We need to encourage people not to leave their litter on the beach and look after the wildlife.

“It may look clean now, but you can see so much [litter] coming up already and it’s only the start of the season.”

Prizes were awarded for the “weirdest, brightest, and most camouflaged” items of rubbish found during the clean-up.
