The ‘Keeping the Blue Lagoon Beautiful’ Facebook group was formed to organise regular litter picks at the Bletchley facility.
“We are fortunate to have the beautiful Blue Lagoon on our doorstep for us to visit. Unfortunately some people leave rubbish behind that not only makes the area unpleasant but also threatens the wildlife. This group has been set up to arrange regular litter picks so that many others can enjoy it,” said a spokesman.
But recently the group, which has 206 members, has been fighting a losing battle.
“The Blue Lagoon is affected by littering, fly tipping and general anti social behaviour, which we as a group try to keep on top of and make the area as clean as possible,” said member Terry Stephens.
However, things have taken a step for the worse over the past week where fire crews have attended following arson. We are noticing trees and shrubs are now being targeted.
” And sadly after the nice weather over the weekend someone has decided ‘archaeology’ is the way forward by vandalising and throwing all of the debris in the Lagoon.”
