Students from Bridgnorth Endowed School have received high praise from the town’s Mayor for volunteering to pick up litter at the Crown Meadow last weekend.
A group of Year 11 House Captains collected five large bags of rubbish and tidied up the popular play area on Saturday morning, leaving it immaculate after their efforts.
In an email to the school, Town Mayor, Councillor Kirstie Hurst-Knight, said: “I’d like to thank your students for kindly giving up their time to come and litter pick at the Crown Meadow.”
“On the day, local residents stopped me to say how much they appreciated this community work by your pupils and what a difference it had made. If we all do our bit, it certainly makes for a better Bridgnorth.”
Head of Rowley House, Mr Chase, who organised the work, commented:
“We’re extremely proud of these young people and, in their role as House Captains, they plan to take action on other similar projects.”
“As a school, we’re always keen to help the community and find ways to encourage our students to care for their local area and the wider environment.”
“Well done to everyone who took part.”
