There's anger in Bournemouth as piles of rubbish were left behind on the beach following the hottest day of the year.

Bottles, to plastic bags and cans were left scattered over the sand on Friday (17th June 2022), with claims some people were seen flicking their cigarette butts into the sea.

Campaigners say it's an 'extremely tricky problem, but one worth trying to solve.'
