Our staff start at 5am. Today, it took 6 of them 5 hours to clear rubbish on the beach from Brighton Pier to West St. People should think about how long it takes other people to clean up after them 🚯. Please find a bin that isn't full or take your rubbish home with you 🗑️

We're worried that too many people are on the seafront making it hard to maintain safe physical distancing. We're also hearing that some people are not using the public toilets. It's not nice. 🤢. 🙏 For the time being please stay away from Brighton & Hove.
