Pupils from St Mary’s Roman Catholic Primary School in Flint, who gave their local community a clean-up, have been taking part in a ‘design a sign competition’ to encourage residents to keep the area litter free.
The Flint Castle Clean-Up took place back in March, thanks to St Mary’s school children asking for help to tidy up their town. Their request led to a wide variety of community groups, the Council, North Wales Police and Keep Wales Tidy working together to clean up the local area.
In conjunction with the event, pupils from St Mary’s entered a “design a sign” competition, urging people to Keep Flint Tidy, and to clean up after their dogs.
The artwork has now been judged by Councillor Dennis Hutchinson, the Executive Member for Leisure and Public Protection, and the two winning works of art will now be made into real signs, ready to be sited in a location in the town.
Councillor Hutchinson said:
“The children put a great deal of effort into designing these signs, and I enjoyed judging them. Congratulations to the winners, Corey and Becky, whose artwork will soon be on display on signs in the town.
“We believe that children ‘live what they learn’ and working with schools helps us to underline our message that we have a ‘zero tolerance’ approach when it comes to litter and dog fouling.”
