IT WAS heartening to read in The Press of April 15 that Yorkshire’s beaches are some of the cleanest in the country.
I’d like to think this is partly due to the sterling work carried out by the volunteers on the regular beach cleans carried out on behalf of the Marine Conservation Society.
We held our spring beach clean at Robin Hood’s Bay on April 6 and collected more than 23 kilograms of rubbish made up of more than 800 pieces of litter, including the ever-present plastic.
Could I thank all the volunteers on the clean and invite any of your readers to our beach cleans, and those of other groups. The next one planned for Robin Hood’s Bay is on July 6 and all are welcome.
