STAFF at a holiday park in Holywell Bay have helped clear up the coastline.

Holywell Bay Holiday Park organised litter picks as part of the Marine Conservation Society’s annual Great British Beach Clean, which was attended by team members and local volunteers. Three bags of litter were collected across the county, weighing in at a total of 3.8kg.

Jane Bates, director of sustainability and procurement at Parkdean Resorts, which owns Holywell Bay Holiday Park, said: “We’re proud to once again support the Marine Conservation Society’s annual Great British Beach Clean, and are thankful to every one of the generous volunteers who worked with us to make these incredible results possible.

“Initiatives like this support our commitment to caring for our parks, people, and planet, while also giving back to our local communities.

“We will continue to work hard throughout the year to keep our surrounding areas clean and inviting for the community along with the millions of holidaymakers who visit our parks every year.”

Clare Trotman, beachwatch officer at the Marine Conservation Society, said: "We are grateful for Parkdean Resorts’ support in organising many events as part of this year’s Great British Beach Clean.

“By holding beach cleans around the UK, they will help us to collect data from our beaches on what litter is polluting our seas.

“Without our volunteers heading down to the beach to collect and record litter, we wouldn’t be able to do the work we do. Their hard work allows us to campaign for a healthier, better protected ocean."
