Innes, Lachlan and Mia represented our school last night when they volunteered to attend our local Portpatrick Community Council Meeting. They delivered a presentation, with the support of Community Safety Officers, Andrew and Caroline. The children informed the council of the results of our recent litter and dog fouling surveys. They also showcased our poster campaign to discourage dog fouling in our village. The children spoke with clarity and confidence.
The committee praised all of the children of Portpatrick highly for their admirable community work and their responsible attitude. The chair has taken our posters away to judge the winners. It was agreed that the village public display board would be given over to exhibit our results and posters for a period of time. The committee has also kindly offered to upload the children’s posters onto the Community Council webpage. Andrew has agreed to produce our posters ready for placing in prominant locations for dog walkers around the village. A large banner is also planned for our school gate to provide impact for passers by, all in an attempt to encourage responsible dog ownership. Watch out for the upcoming press release.
Our thanks to the Community Safety Team and the Community Council for their ongoing support.
