Commenting, Rebecca Harris MP said: It was wonderful to join the Castle Point Clean Up Crew again out on their litter pick around the School Lane Car Park in Benfleet today.
If you have some spare time and want to help make our environment just that little bit nicer for everyone, please do join their Facebook group and get involved.
Organiser Emma Powell told us; Today we were less lucky with the weather at school lane car park but that car park is spotless now!
We collected 26 plastic bottles, 34 cans, 10 glass bottles at least (mostly smashed to bits), hundreds of cigarette butts and 5 PPE. Unusual finds include car parts and a pink net. 7 rubbish and 1 recycling (including parts of the High Road).
