Over the past few weeks, a small group of
pupils from Pembroke School have been in and around Pembroke Dock
carrying out a number of clean ups. The pupils are working towards their
Duke of Edinburgh Award and the clean ups have been organised as part of
the Pride in Our Communities Project, operated by Keep Wales Tidy,
Pembrokeshire County Council and Environment Agency Wales, and
part-funded by the EUs Objective-1 Programme. To date the girls have
given a total of 29 hours service and collected over 38 bags of rubbish
from Western Way, London Road and Fort Road beach. Keep Wales Tidy’s
Fly-tipping Officer commented “the group have shown great commitment
over the past few weeks, doing a job that no-one should have to do.
These young people are really taking a stand against those who persist
in this type of anti-social behaviour.” Further clean ups have been
planned over the next month.
For further information on the project in
Pembrokeshire, or if you would like to get involved, please contact
Simon Preddy on 01646 681949.
