RESIDENTS in Aberporth have rallied together to get their village plastic free.

The initiative is being led by local resident Gail Tudor who has been inspired by the #plasticfreecoastlines campaign waged by Surfers Against Sewage.

Aberporth village hall committee - of which Gail is a member - has backed the scheme to get Aberporth plastic free as have the local guides and brownies plus village businesses such as the Ship Inn.

Towns and villages who act to carry out the five point plan can become Plastic Free Coastlines certified areas – similar to the Fair Trade towns movement worldwide.

If anyone would like to get involved in activities, or get more information on becoming a certified 'plastic-free business' and what benefits it brings to businesses, message Gail via the Plastic Free Aberporth Facebook page.
