Scillonians who are sick of seeing bottles on beaches are being invited to make a difference. A beach clean, organised by Island Tourism, has been organised to keep Scilly’s beaches as clean as possible.
The event will take place on Monday 26th July at 6pm-8pm on Porthmellon, St Mary’s. And if doing a good deed isn’t reason enough the group are also putting on a barbecue and sand castle competition.
Vice Chairman of Island Tourism Jamie Le Friec told Scilly News: ‘ Island tourism received many comments and complaints from members about the poor state of Porthmellon beach and in particular the rotting seaweed. Having then sought assistance from the appropriate bodies it was clear that Island Tourism would have to take the lead in order to instigate a clean of the beach. Hence a ‘fun’ evening out has been arranged which will, through voluntary action, achieve the cleaning of the beach so that we provide an improved facility for our visitors at this important time of year’
