Machrihanish Clean Beach :-)

[Kintyre Forum News]

Was out a dander along Machrihanish Beach tonight and couldn't but help notice how clean the beach is. Has there been a series of beach cleans>

Anyway, here are a couple of photos.

Yes, there has been a series of beach cleans - organised by the GRAB trust - and carried out by local volunteers. I'm glad to see that you have seen the difference it makes - a couple of hours now and again by a few volunteers really does make an enormous difference. Beach cleaning is sociable and rewarding and it is a job that is not done by any of the public bodies.
The situation for some local beaches is improving thanks to volunteers - Campbeltown Loch has less beach litter than it did last year and the year before - regular beach cleans are very effective in keeping the level of litter down - and it gets easier every year.
However, there are still some local beaches that are in dire need of cleaning - those of you who live near them will know them. The GRAB Trust can provide gloves, bags, litter pickers, moral support, enthusiasm and the occasional barbeque.
If anyone would like to organise a beach clean for their local beach or would like us to organise one or help organise one, contact me (553192) or Louise Robertson (GRAB Trust (01546 604227)
