Cuttings Beach litter clearance gains ground
Warner Beach Preparatory's pupils tackled Cuttings and removed a remarkable 121 bags.

The project is estimated to take years but the CSP team and volunteers push on every Saturday, getting one step closer to a blue flag status.
“We’re glad a few more companies are creating awareness getting involved with CSP and our projects,” said Denzil van der Westhuizen.
Warner Beach Preparatory’s pupils tackled Cuttings on Monday, 20 November and removed a remarkable 121 bags, Clean Surf Project thanks the local primary school and looks to give talks at all schools, whereby creating awareness and inspiring youngsters to tackle clean-ups.
