Litter is on the rise in island's beauty spots

The National Trust is calling for islanders to clean up after themselves and report anyone they see leaving behind rubbish in public spaces.

Instances of littering are on the rise in Jersey this summer according to the Trust.

It comes after plastic items such as carrier bags and bottles have been spotted in several of Jersey's green areas.

Le Hocq and Le Coleron Battery are two places that have been particularly affected by recent littering. National Trust rangers say they have to collect large amounts of litter from these areas on a weekly basis.
