A group of youth volunteers carried out a clean-up of Burnham-On-Sea’s beach this week following recent reports about the poor state of the sands.
A dozen members of the Somerset Youth Volunteering Network from across the county aged between 16 and 25 held the special clean-up on Thursday (June 5th).
It comes after Burnham-On-Sea.com reported last month how the poor state of the beach had been highlighted by local councillors.
Somerset Youth Volunteering Network’s spokeswoman Hollie Taylor told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We carried away a large amount of debris from the beach between the pier and lighthouse after a clean-up lasting several hours. We were happy to help – it was a good opportunity for young people to get active in their own community and also helped with team-building.”
