Councillors Steffi Sutters, Cabinet Member for Community Services and Open Spaces, who led the judging panel said, “It was great to see so many children take part in the competition. With so many strong entries, we had a really difficult choice to pick the winners. What came through loud and clear is the real pride that all the children have in our borough."

The poster competition is the latest part of the council's ongoing campaign to tackle litter and flytipping.

More than £4.3 million a year is spent on cleaning the borough's streets.
Town centres are cleaned up to five times-a-day.
More than 400km of streets are cleaned every week.
More than 10,800 fines were issued between April 2017 to February 2019 for fly-tipping and littering offences.
