  • Submitted by: Stephanie Callaghan, Uddingston and Bellshill, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Thursday, 30 June 2022
  • Motion reference: S6M-05197

That the Parliament congratulates senior pupils from Uddingston Grammar who collected more than 50 bags of litter during a community clean-up initiative; understands that working with volunteers from local charities, Uddingston Pride and Brighter Bothwell, and supported by South Lanarkshire Council’s Ground Services team, around 100 pupils rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into the litter pick, which focused on the area in and around the school grounds, and nearby town centre; further understands that senior pupils got involved to spread the wider message to fellow students about the volume of litter around their school and town, and the environmental impact it can create; appreciates that both local charities, Uddingston Pride and Brighter Bothwell, bring together community groups to enhance the environment for local residents and promote biodiversity, and notes that litter-picking kits and support information specific to either primary or secondary school pupils are available to schools and parent councils on request from South Lanarkshire Council.
