Back in January the Co-op Member Pioneer for Newton Stewart
launched an attack on the foul streets of the town by launching a competition
for the local children to design a poster; reminding dog owners to clean up
after their pets.
Suzy Cowper, the Member Pioneer, said “I started the job in mid-January,
and I opened a Facebook Group where the community could come together to share
their thoughts and ideas about the town. It soon became apparent that what was
driving most residents crazy was dog mess on the street, so I came up with an
idea to address the issue and arranged a competition for the local children to
design a poster for the town.”
Poster designs soon came flooding in and you can see them
all here https://newton-stewart-and-wigtown.blogspot.com/2020/02/here-are-latest-competition-posters.html
Suzy said “Children have wonderful imaginations and are just so full
of fun. The posters were marvellous, and it was incredibly hard to choose just
one winner, so in the end 6 winners were chosen.”
Competition Winners in no order are…
Catherine, Ayva, Charlie, Molly, Holly and Jack. Well done to all of you!!
Suzy said, “I’d like to say a big thank you to Dumfries and
Galloway Council who have been an amazing support and are putting up the
posters around the town.”
Prize presentations and the first glimpse of the posters all
printed will be on Sunday 15th of March at the Newton Stewart Co-op
at 5pm. Come along and see the artist for yourself; and look out for a prize
winning ‘No Dog Fouling’ poster coming to a lamppost near you!
