A VILLAGE primary school will create an eco-garden with cash it won in a competition.
West Cornforth Primary School won Sedgefield Borough Council's Don't Mess It Up competition, which promotes healthy living and caring for the environment.
The school won a £300 Peter Barratt garden centre voucher for producing the most comprehensive project.
Council staff spoke to children about existing environmental problems such as graffiti, dog fouling, abandoned vehicles, derelict properties and litter. Pupils were then given a disposable camera, a comic and a feedback form and were asked to take pictures of problems in their neighbourhood as identified in the comic.
Dean Bank, Cleves Cross, Ferryhill Station and Broom Cottages primary schools, all in Ferryhill, and Chilton Primary School also took part.
