St Joseph's Roman CatholicPrimary School
To grow daily in God's love, blossoming in His will
Plastic free Longridge
The delighted compere for the event was former Longridge mayor Town Councillor Steve Ashcroft. He was in office when a local schoolgirl Jeannie Wilkinson, eight, from St Joseph's school at Hurst Green, wrote to the council with a plea for the council to make Longridge a leader in the fight against excess use of single use plastic and become a plastic free town. She had declared: "We really must do something."
Jeannie was unable to attend Saturday's celebration but the award was presented to current Longridge mayor Coun Bryan Dalgleish-Warburton on her behalf by another pupil from St Joseph's Matilda Blunden.
