Polzeath Together
For a safe and enjoyable beach
About
Polzeath Together is a community campaign with the aim of promoting the 'respectful enjoyment' of Polzeath Beach. Made up of a body of local stakeholders including Neighbourhood Police, Fire and Rescue, Parish and Cornwall Councils and local business owners, we want to ensure that the beach remains a safe and enjoyable recreational resource for all visitors and users.
This means that any disregard for the beach and surrounding area needs to be a thing of the past; so no littering, no vandalism, no beach fires or out of control barbecues and respect for all residents, whether year-rounders or welcomed visitors, in terms of late night noise and disruption.
Ways you can help
Leaving Polzeath as Nature Intended it
Used the designated bins for your litter
All beach users can help by either taking all of their rubbish home with them - remember to pack a bin bag to do this - or by using the public bins provided, which an army of refuse collectors come and clear three times every single day during the summer, so that the beach is clean and tidy for the next day.
Cool it, Clear it, Bin it
BBQ's are permitted, but must adhere to these safety instructions:-
-
Never leave unattended
-
Let the BBQ cool completely, preferably using water or sand before moving it
-
Dispose of it responsibly in the bins provided or take it home with you
-
Never bury a BBQ in the sand
Or just remember to Cool it, Clear it, Bin it!
No fires on the beach
Open fires are not allowed on the beach, they simply present too much of a danger to beach users; screws in timber and embers can cause injury to both people and animals. Fires can also cause ‘plastic pebbles’ - a combination of melted plastics, shingle and seaweed – that can enter the food chain with devastating consequences for wildlife.
Support
There are a number of ways that you can support our campaign for a safer and more enjoyable beach:-
Donating
Whilst most of the work is carried out by volunteers, we do need funds to produce our educational and awareness materials
Volunteering
We need help to spread the word and to run some of our campaigns
Displaying our posters and distributing our flyers
If you run a local business or club and feel that you could help get the word out we would love it if you could take some of our posters and flyers
