Pupils clean up in ‘litter blitz’

WOMBWELL councillors joined up with primary school pupils for a ‘litter blitz’ recently.

The community clean-up saw the councillors work with Park Street Primary School’s eco reps as part of the Great British Spring Clean.

Councillors Brenda Eastwood, Robert Frost and James Higginbottom said: “We were really pleased to take part in this community clean-up with Park Street School to ensure that the school and surrounding streets are kept clean and tidy for all to enjoy.

“It is vitally important to engage with our young people on the issue of litter and protecting the environment, instilling in them a lifelong appreciation and respect for keeping communities clean.

“This was just one of a number of events that have taken place in Wombwell as part of the Great British Spring Clean – we’re grateful to all who have come along to support the events.”
