Surfers swapped their boards for litter picks on Saturday to clean up East Wittering Beach.

Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) organised the event and were helped by a small army of people.

Rob Hills, local representative, said: “We had approximately 113 volunteers come along to help, which was amazing considering it was less that a week ago that the call for volunteers was put out.

“Some even came from as far as Petersfield and Farnham. We collected about 60 bags of rubbish, no one came back empty handed.
