A pupil from St Luke's School has won a recycling artwork competition at Potters Patch, with their design now featured on a Stoke-on-Trent City Council refuse collection vehicle.
The competition was held as part of a community open day at Potters Patch on Bucknall New Road, Hanley. The project, supported by Stoke-on-Trent City Council and delivered in partnership with Groundwork, invited children to design artwork promoting recycling and caring for the environment.
The winning design is now displayed on one of the council's refuse collection vehicles, taking the recycling message to streets and neighbourhoods across the city.
Encouraging Young Environmentalists
The competition was designed to encourage children and families to think about the importance of recycling and the positive impact small actions can have on the environment.
Councillor Amjid Wazir OBE, cabinet member for city pride and enforcement at Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: "It was fantastic to see so many children taking part in the competition and thinking creatively about how we can all look after our environment. The winning design is eye-catching and carries a positive message about recycling. Having it displayed on one of our refuse collection vehicles is a great way to showcase that creativity while encouraging residents across the city to think about the role they can play in reducing waste and recycling more."
