I’m writing to let your readers know about the launch event for Minehead and West Somerset Plastic Free Community.

Surfers Against Sewage are working with Somerset Wildlife Trust and West Somerset Together to attain “Plastic Free” status for Minehead and West Somerset.

By working with local councils, schools, businesses and individuals, we hope to significantly reduce the amount of single use plastic in our environment causing harm to wildlife and ultimately ourselves.

The event is to be held at The Beach Hotel in Minehead from 2 to 4pm on Sunday March 17. 

People can sign up for the event by emailing [email protected] to help us get an idea of numbers attending.

Tim Lyddon, Minehead and West Somerset Plastic Free Community.
