COPELAND'S seasonal beach cleaners are back in action as the weather warms up.

Each year Copeland Borough Council employs two officers specifically to clean and oversee the four managed beaches at Silectoft, Haverigg, Seascale and St Bees.

Beach-goers could well see the pair, John Harris and Jon Beech, emptying bins, monitoring recycling sites, picking litter or maintaining safety equipment.

John Harris covers the council's two most southern amenity beaches - Silecroft and Haverigg. He is a well-known face, having covered the seasonal roles for several summers.
