Volunteers are being sought to help with a Spring clean of Burnham-On-Sea and Berrow beaches ahead of the start of the tourist season.

Sedgemoor District Council is appealing for volunteers to come forward and help the clean-up after recent storms and high tides left a trail of debris.

The clean-up of the beach between Berrow beach car park and Maddock’s Slade in Burnham will take place on Saturday 29th March between 10am and 1pm.

“Following the recent storms and flooding in the area, there are tonnes of rubbish on the beach and Sedgemoor is trying to get it cleaned up before the holiday season starts in earnest,” the council’s resort manager, Graham Newing, told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

“This year there is certainly a challenge after an unprecedented winter. All litter collected will be taken away and recycled, where possible, by Sedgemoor District Council.”

Volunteers interested in helping should meet and park at either Berrow Beach car park or Maddock’s Slade at 10am on 29th March. Beach Wardens will be on hand to help at both locations. Volunteers should wrap up warm and wear suitable clothing with boots and gloves
