Bournemouth: Video shows resort's beaches covered in rubbish

The vast amount of rubbish left on a resort's beaches has been described as "soul destroying".

Many residents started litter picking at 06:00 BST following an influx of visitors to Bournemouth over the weekend.

Beth Goodship said: "You could spend the whole day down here and you wouldn't pick up all the rubbish."

It comes despite the local council spending £1m a year on beach cleaning and bringing in extra staff and bins.
