Big TT tidy up to start this weekend

Thursday, 9 May 2013 00:00

A campaign to clean up the Isle of Man in time for the TT Races will begin this weekend.

The Beach Buddies’ eight day ‘Big One TT Tidy Up’ will target beaches, glens, parks and footpaths Island wide.

It’s in an effort to remove litter before thousands of visitors descend.

The public are being asked to alert the volunteer group to any particularly bad litter hotspots so they can be factored into the clean-up schedule.

Founder of Beach Buddies Bill Dale says it’s a chance for everyone to make a contribution:
