Beach visitors urged to take rubbish home

As soon as the weather gets hot it seems some visitors think it’s okay to leave all their rubbish on the beach – it’s not.

Please take your litter home with you, whether it be bottles, takeaway wrappers or chairs (why would anyone think it’s okay to dump a chair on a beach???)

And please remember BBQs and fires are NOT allowed on the Sefton coast – they are a major hazard, damage the habitat, can cause appalling burns to children who run over super-heated sand and are sharp enough to cause cuts that can require serious treatment.

The #Sefton coast is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, protected for its beauty and wildlife, but can only remain so if everyone who uses it does so responsibly.

Just think – what would David Attenborough do?

If you can carry it onto a beach, you can carry it off.
