Local residents have organised beach cleanups for Cheung Sha and Silvermine Bay in the next two days.

Cheung Sha’s Frankie McYuen has called for help in removing rubbish from the beach Friday afternoon.  He is generously laying on a barbecue and  salad for all participants, starting from 4pm. He adds:

I have co-ordinated with the beach cleaner contractors so we will have some gloves, rakes and rubbish bags. (Approx. 20 sets)

Please bring your own tools if you have. And remember sunscreen, hats, spare T-shirts can always help.
