Volunteers clean up beach litter
VOLUNTEERS from across Yorkshire collected more than 555 pieces of litter at South Landing Flamborough beach as part of the Marine Conservation Society’s Great British Beach Clean.
They included a kitchen knife with a 4.5 inch blade, fragments of glass and fishing lures with intact hooks. Vicky Pawson, from Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s Living Seas Centre at Flamborough, said: “The beach at South Landing is now a cleaner and safer place for all to enjoy.”
She urged everyone visiting the area to dispose of their waste responsibly and recycle as much as possible.
