April's Million Mile Clean

April 29, 2025

In association with Surfers Against Sewage, we completed our first Million Mile Clean this April here at West Country Parks

West Country Parks Million Mile Clean

On a sunny morning this April, 7 volunteers from Riverside Holiday Village and Edithmead Leisure and Park Homes headed out on a 2-mile 'litter pick' along Bridgwater Road in Weston-super-Mare.


We managed to collect 11 sacks of litter, plus part of a lorry! Energy drinks cans were by far the biggest offender of the day, closely followed by discarded alcohol bottles and fast food takeaway wrappers. Some of the strangest finds included several odd shoes, one pregnancy test and a Drifters CD!


All waste was collected by our waste management partner, MJ Church.


Now the biggest initiative of its kind in the UK, the Million Mile Clean is an annual event, mobilising 1,000,000 million volunteers to clean over 10,000,000 miles of UK landscape between 2021 - 2030.


We would like to say a massive 'thank you' to all of our volunteers - we're planning another 'clean' this September - please keep a lookout for more updates about future events!

 Following our annual Mystery Guest visits by a professional inspector this April, each park has been re-assessed under a set of quality standards agreed between the AA and the UK Tourist Authorities. The inspection included an assessment of each parks; Location and Access Sustainability/Green Credentials Customer Care Cleanliness/Maintenance across the park Toilets (quality, cleanliness and maintenance) Other Site Facilities Pitches Grounds All three parks scored an impressive 91% overall (an increase on last year) - with Coombes and Rose Farm both achieving full marks for 'customer care' and Riverside’s impressive facilities and cleanliness/maintenance across the park bagging them the top score. Additionally, each park was again awarded a Gold Award, placing them amongst the best sites in their star category. When visiting Four Star Parks, customers can expect an extremely high standard in all areas, with well-maintained facilities, very good customer care and additional facilites compared to lower rated establishments. David Tattersall, Group Manager of West Country Park Homes: "Consistency is so important in our industry and we're extremely proud to have achieved this level of award by such a high-brand Assessor for the second year running. It just confirms that we are continuing to meet the high standards that our visitors expect and deserve."
