Work to clean-up Burnham-On-Sea beach paddling pool is completed

Work to remove tonnes of sand from inside Burnham-On-Sea's beach paddling pool got underway on Sunday morning (July 29th).

Sedgemoor District Council, which owns the structure, called in workmen to empty the concrete pool after a series of high tides had filled it up with silt.

On Sunday, a JCB digger was brought in to move the sand to the seaward side of the structure, where it is now helping to bolster the foundations.

The paddling pool is a often a popular spot with families during the summer holiday season.
