Hartlepool McDonald’s staff show the environment some lovin’ with beach clean

Employees from Hartlepool’s three McDonald’s branches, in Burn Road, Marina Way and Middleton Grange Shopping Centre took part in the Seaton Carew beach clean where they collected 12 bags in total.

Thirty-five members of staff, as well as their family and friends, joined in the clean that was organised by franchisee Jasper Maudsley, who operates 10 McDonald’s restaurants across the region.

Mr Maudsley said: “We have done various different types of litter picks throughout Hartlepool.

"The reason for doing a beach clean is that it was different to what we have done in the past and we had a co-ordinator to work with, Louise Harrington at SeaScapes.”

SeaScapes is a scheme that aims to reveal and better manage the heritage of our coast while also creating opportunities for learning and enjoyment.

Mr Maudsley hopes this is something they can do again in the future.
