Brighton and Hove City Council has urged those visiting Brighton's beach to take their rubbish with them when they leave. The Council had gone to the effort to install 60 extra bins along the sea front, although it did not stop visitors to the beach leaving an astonishing 23 tonnes of litter behind on the beach at the weekend!
Councillor Ollie Sykes said, "last weekend it was wonderful that so many people came, but very depressing that the beaches looked so awful at the end of it." He added, "the beaches looked like landfill sites. They [the beach goers] wouldn't do this to their own streets and their own back gardens."
