‘Spring is here and the weather conditions are looking so much better for us to do a good clean up along this stretch of beach. I ask residents who have some time available in the morning next week to please join us and assist with the beach clean-ups. Our team is ready to meet you and will appreciate all the help we can get. It’s the perfect opportunity to soak up some of that sunshine and fresh air we have been missing all during the winter months. Those who can only come on Saturday, please join us down at Eerste Steen Resort on 21 September 2024 for International Coastal Clean-up Day. We can all lend a hand to ensure that this famous and beautiful stretch of coastline is kept in the most pristine condition possible,’ said the City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Alderman Eddie Andrews.
The City asks that residents please bring their own gloves.
