Students from The Hermitage Academy, Chester Le Street, showed
they truly love where they live by helping to spruce up a littered
route to school.
The group of keen youngsters litter picked, swept leaves and
painted out graffiti on garages close to their school as part of
their contribution to the Love Where You Live Day of Action on 17
October 2011.
The young volunteers, who included student Abbie Winter
(pictured above), joined Durham County Council's Civic Pride
team who organised the clean up as part of a number of
environmental activities to coincide with the day of action. The
activities will feature in a forthcoming DVD production entitled
Fix You.
Funded by Chester Le Street Area Action Partnership and
supported by Cestria Housing, the Fix You DVD project will
feature some of the many actions taken by the area's young people
in a bid to learn about the impacts of littering and other
environmental crimes.
The finished presentation will be screened on a mobile cinema in
the coming months.
