Waveney Conservatives, led by Parliamentary Candidate Peter Aldous, will be supporting the Marine Conservation Society's Beachwatch Big Weekend on Saturday 19th September by cleaning up litter on Pakefield Beach.

This follows on from their litter pick on Kessingland Beach on the Bank Holiday Weekend.

Peter Aldous comments: "Since the Marine Conservation Society started their annual beach survey in the mid 1990s, the amount of litter has doubled. It is not only unsightly for visitors, but a threat to our marine wildlife. Some litter is washed up from abroad, but a significant amount is dropped here in the UK. We need to clear up the mess to protect the environment and the coastline."

Peter Aldous and the other volunteers will be assembling at the Pakefield Street Car Park at 10.00am on Saturday 19th September. Anyone is welcome to come along. To obtain further information please ring 07771 791513.
