Poster Designs 

Thank you to all the under 18 year old's that took the time to submit a poster design during the 2020 Great British September Clean to encourage all residents to pick up after their dog and to not drop litter so that our district can be a cleaner, greener place to live and be proud of.  Here are the fantastic designs.
