We aim to reduce single-use plastic in Bookham and gain the Plastic Free Community accreditation awarded by Surfers Against Sewage.
The project began in late 2019: the next two years were challenging times in which to progress a plastics-reduction project but we've made good progress against the objectives set for us.
We've now achieved four out of five objectives and as at January 2026 the project overall is over 85% complete.
