Litter is the scourge of many coastlines, and Bangor in North Down in Northern Ireland is no exception. But one person (and there are many) regularly litter picks in an adopted place (#AdoptASpot) on Seacliff Road, near the Long Hole beside the Harbour.
This month there seemed to be far less litter than normal during November.
Lesley Crawshaw said on Facebook it is “something to celebrate whilst it lasts. 1 bag lifted - 94 items. 11 sweet/snack wrappers/packets, 10 cans, 6 bottles, 4 bottle caps, 4 cotton bud sticks, 2 forks, 1 balloon, 1 lip gloss, 1 pen, 1 face mask, 1 tyre and the usual small pieces of broken-down plastic”.
Harbour Master Kevin Baird remarked, “Well done, Lesley - thank you for adopting a spot close to the Marina, Harbour and Long Hole”.
