CREATIVE youngsters are helping to spread the word about keeping their communities litter-free.
Pupils from three primary schools in Crook designed posters encouraging people to dispose of their litter responsibly.
The youngsters were challenged to come up with the designs as part of a project by the 3 Towns Partnership and Durham County Council’s civic pride team following special assemblies in their schools. One winner from each school was chosen to have their design made into a poster to be displayed by local businesses.
They were: Joel Cowen from St Cuthbert’s Primary School, Alisha Coleman from Crook Primary School, and Eve Rutherford from Hartside Primary School
Sandy Denney, AAP coordinator, said: “It was very obvious that the children had really taken on board the messages from the litter assemblies as the standard of the posters was very high. It was so hard picking just one winner from each school.”
Each winner was presented with a £10 shopping voucher and a certificate by Tidy Ted, the council’s anti-litter mascot.
