Last year, 13 volunteers collected 23 sacks of litter over 4 miles as we completed two Million Mile Cleans. And this April, we're doing it all over again!
Providing a clean and attractive destination for our visitors to enjoy not only benefits our business, it also positively impacts our local community and the wider environment. Which is why we have committed to join Surfers Against Sewage Million Mile Clean for the second year.
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.
It’s reported that more than 2 million pieces of litter are dropped in the UK every day at a cost of £1 billion to the taxpayer. So, we are asking visitors and the local community to get pro-active and join us at Riverside Holiday Village near Weston-super-Mare on Thursday 23rd April from 10.00am - 1.00pm for an organised 3 mile ‘litter pick’ along Bridgwater Road (Hospital Roundabout - Hobbs Boat Inn).
‘Clean Kits’ will be provided; we’re just asking for 3 hours of your time to help clean up this public space.
Speaking about the campaign, West Country Parks’ Group Manager, David Tattersall, said:
‘Somerset is a fantastic place to enjoy an amazing staycation; with the perfect combination of sandy beaches and rolling countryside.
Keeping our outdoor spaces clean and litter free must be a priority and we are keen to support all of the fantastic work that Surfers Against Sewage are championing.’
