Cowbridge pupils clean up school fields
A group of students from Cowbridge Comprehensive's lower
school, who were concerned about litter and dog fouling on their
playing fields, decided to take matters into their own hands this
week.
Working alongside 'Scoop', the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s waste
management mascot, the fields were litter-picked and any problems
with dog fouling were passed on to the council’s enforcement
team.
Mrs Evans, headteacher, said: “The children are keen to work
alongside the council's enforcement team next term. Regular
meetings to raise awareness of litter offences and recycling issues
will be taking place throughout the year.”
Denny White, the Vale Council's senior enforcement officer,
explained that 'Keep Wales Tidy Week' was being used to raise
awareness of the mis-use of the school playing fields.
Anyone in the Vale who is caught littering or allowing their dog
to foul will receive an on-the-spot fixed penalty notice of
£75.
