From Ali Hinde, Newport:

I HAD a wonderful time at the festival, great atmosphere and of course the wonderful weather.

However, I cycle through Seaclose Park daily and was saddened to see plastic ticker tape had been released in the main arena and after a week of site clearing, this is still here and has spread around the park and probably also landed in the river.

Plastic has been very much in the headlines recently and while I appreciate it can take time to implement a plastic-free environment, but this is so unnecessary. This affects our local wildlife, rivers and seas. Birds, fish and animals are at risk as they may consume these tiny pieces of plastic.
