A Beach Clean was organised by Rtn Karen Dougles on behalf of Bangor Rotary. The Clean was scheduled to take place as part of Live Here Love Here’s #BigSpringClean initiative to encourage local communities to get involved and show their local spaces some love.

Thanks especially to James, Howard & Denis #TheThreeMusketeers who jumped the seawall and gathered 12 bags and a large gas canister from the adjacent parkland, no mean feat!
Our finds included scores of glass bottles; plastic bottles; cans, a number of single-use BBQ’s which are particularly problematic from a health and safety perspective for humans and animals alike given the sharp metal mesh upon which the food items rests; plastic wrapping; crisp packets; etc.
Thanks to Ards and North Down Borough Council Cleansing Team who attended to lift the separated waste we collected.
