Meet in the car park closest to Marske on the Stray - we'll be working on the banks and footpaths down from the car park to the beach 10am - 12pm All equipment provided Dress for the weather Under 18's welcome but must be accompanied by a parent/guardian Yeuch!! What a disgrace! The banks in front of the car park were in a right state - litter dropped by users of the car park, blown down over the edge and caught in the grass. Majority was fast food wrappers - you name a take away restaurant, supermarket or confectionery producer and we found litter from their products.
Also loads of cigarette packets and cigar boxes - obviously the car park is a venue for sneaky smokers!! Plus ridiculous numbers of dog poo bags - why bother picking it up if you are just going to throw the bag away???? And 3 nappies - gross! There is a large wheelie bin in the car park but clearly its too much effort for some people to get out of the car and use it! At least we didnt have to carry the bags too far - 4 volunteers here collected 21 bags. Also, 2 volunteers worked down on the beach in front of Cliff House filling 10 bags - rope from fishing boats was their item of the day!.
