Skegness litter picker can't wait for summer to be over

Skegness is a popular destination for Nottinghamshire tourists not everyone is happy with all the visitors. 'Roll on winter' says a litter picker who is sick of the extra work tourists bring during the summer. Sue Elliff, 58, often litter picks in Skegness and says this summer has been particularly bad for rubbish being left on the town's beaches, reports Lincolnshire Live.

She blames tourists for being less considerate of Skegness than the locals. She said: "I went for a mid-morning walk and noticed the council hadn't emptied one of the main bins coming up from one main carpark, Seaview Road, Seaview Ramp. It's overflowing.

"It's Sunday, it's the first bin people hit coming onto and off the beach so therefore rubbish is just going to be dumped next to it or left on the beach. Also, my friend and I haven't been doing litter picks on the beach or the promenade for the last two weeks as he's had Covid, and I must say the state of the beach is bad.
