James Duddridge, the Member of Parliament for Rochford and Southend East, joined a team of volunteers on Saturday (8th June) as part of a 12-hour marathon beach clean-up.
James was supporting Southend Beachcare who had organised the event along with Surfers Against Sewage to celebrate World Oceans Day.
In its second year, the annual clean-up saw a total of 90 volunteers collectively remove litter from seven beaches along the Estuary between 8am and 8pm. In total, 16 bags of rubbish and two bags of recycling were collected across the day.
