Thousands of people come each year to visit our stunning
beach but we need to make sure we keep it this way. Threats from pollution in the sea, litter and
dog poo can all hinder your enjoyment and damage habitats and kill wildlife.
A European Directive coming into effect from 2015 will mean
that higher standards of water quality will need to be met in order for our
water to be safe for swimming and paddling.
By working together with businesses, farmers, visitors, Town
and Parish Councils and volunteers we want to exceed these required standards
by 2015.
We kicked off our membership of LoveMyBeach with a good old
beach clean, which attracted 12 people who collected 320kg of litter.
If you would like to get involved our next Beach Clean is 12th
April 10.30a.m from our car park, Roanhead, Hawthwaite Lane, Near Barrow in
Furness LA14 4QJ
