Crawley Borough Council invited primary schools from all over town to design posters with a strong environmental message around 10:10 themes; recycle, be active, grow your own, eat healthy, drive less, walk more.

Judges from the council’s Environment Unit had a tough time choosing 10 winning works of art from hundreds of bright and lively posters.

Councillor Keith Blake, Cabinet member for Environment, said: “This was a fantastic project which not only got young Crawley people thinking about how to reduce their impact on the environment but it’s sure to impress Britain and South East in Bloom judges too.”

Eight children from Hilltop Primary School and Gossops Green Community Primary School were presented with their artwork and green goodies by the Mayor, Councillor Lee Burke, at a ceremony at the Town Hall today.

The Mayor said: “The banners are already up in the town and they look brilliant. All the children who entered should be very proud of themselves for helping our In Bloom bid and conveying such important messages.”
