YOUNGSTERS at an Ulverston primary school are getting the message across about the impact of dog fouling.
Children at Church Walk CE School have been designing posters to put up in the area around the school to encourage dog walkers to make sure they pick up after their pets.
The school has worked with South Lakeland District Council’s (SLDC’s) street scene team, Ulverston Town Council and local PCSO Izzy Roberts on a competition to come up with a poster to get the anti-fouling message across.
Four winning designs have been selected that will now be made up into posters to be put up around Church Walk.
Overall winner Tara Pearson came up with a poster that encourages dog walkers to make the world a better place by ‘scooping the poop’.
Runners-up in the competition were Charlie Macleod and Jessica Bailey, while Grace Smith won a special prize.
All received a certificate and book tokens, donated by the town council, which were presented at an assembly today at the school by Ulverston’s Mayor, Cllr Mark Wilson.
