Parish Councillors from St Helens are supporting the Isle of Wight Council’s campaign to respect, protect and enjoy the countryside and coastline of the Island and have designed special posters promoting safe disposal of litter on the award-winning Duver beach.
Project Manager Victoria Duckett said:
“The Parish have invested in new recycling bins at the Duver, have extra litter collections, and upgraded our Public Conveniences, and want to encourage all those that come to the Duver to use the amenities respectfully or please take any litter home”.

Community Lead Councillor Joost Spit added:
“We are mindful of the litter issues on and off Island, and want to do all we can to encourage responsible behaviours, partly so that funds can be freed up to invest in Church Green as planned before the pandemic”.
St Helens Parish Council are planning a meeting later in July to sign off accounts and prepare for future meetings within the COVID-19 guidance and will be taking forward projects contained in the 2020-21 Budget when guidance permits.
Cllr Duckett concluded:
“We hope all that come to the Duver and the beach leave nothing behind but their footprints, taking happy memories with them, along with any excess waste, as we all want to see our unique coastline protected now and into the future”.

Even IF a bin were to be placed three feet in front of many of todays charity kept children and adults, they still would not use it.
Far more cool to leave it for someone else to pick up your trash.
They have their numerous clones all paid for by the state, have them fed at school for breakfast and lunch, despite claiming the child allowance and tax credits, they are treated, educated for free, so they ‘expect’ others to faun at their feet now and pick up their mess, as society had done fiscally for all their life.
The have nots now rule, as they are deemed to be untouchable.
Wait until over a thousand new homes in Ryde spill out their contents onto our beaches and countryside.
The Island won’t know what has hit it, as many will be ‘inner city’ delights.
All is not lost, the developers and planning councillors will not be living anywhere near the carnage so that is ok……..Isn’t it?
