Local Sea Scouts clear up bank holiday mess in Old Leigh

Southend Borough Council had prepared for an increase of visitors and special measures were put into place to cope with the possibility of larger volumes of litter including deplying a beach rake machine and extending the hours of extra litter pickers.

However, not all young people were up to no good over the weekend. We would like to extend a massive amount of gratitude and thanks from us here at Leigh-on-sea.com to the local Sea Scouts who spent half of what should have been a fun filled evening for them playing 'Mud Olympics', clearing up the rubbish and bottles that had been left by the thoughtless people over weekend!

Keep our little beach clean!
