THE beach on Weston seafront was looking decidedly cleaner before the weekend.

It followed a massive clean up operation involved dozens of people.

Staff from National Highways South Wes and MJ Church Ltd joined forces to support a Surfers Against Sewage initiative.

Together they managed to fill seven large bags with litter during the operation on Friday (July 7).

It was all part of the Million Mile Clean campaign run by Surfers Against Sewage to clean up our beaches.

The aim of the initiative is to pick up trash that covers our coastlines, canal paths, bridleways and city streets.

It is an annual action bringing ocean activists together to tackle plastic pollution head on.

It will run every year until 2030, mobilising a million volunteers to clean over 10 million miles of UK landscape.
