A "beach clean station" set up by Sully Village Group was broken last night in a "heartbreaking" act of vandalism.

The station aimed to curb seaside littering by providing beach cleaning bags and an educational poster. It was only installed on 19 October.

Beachgoers were encouraged to fill the bags with five items of litter from the beach and deposit at the bin next to the beach clean station.

The station was seemingly ripped from its pole, thrown across the grass and damaged in the process. Litter was tossed from the bin and distributed across the field.

Hannah Bevmoh, Chair of Sully Village Group, told Nub News:

"It's heartbreaking really, very sad. This is just mindless vandalism that has destroyed a year's worth of work getting it all together."
