Pupils from Avenue Nursery School, Highgate, were accompanied by Lynne Featherstone MP on a litter survey of Highgate Wood and Highgate Station.

Lynne Featherstone said:

“Teaching young people to treasure the environment is so important.Climate change has rightly taken centre stage in green issues, but we cannot forget the damage done to our surroundings by simply not putting litter in the bin.

“The kids did a fantastic job of spotting rubbish and we discovered the number one culprit was cigarette butts – particularly around Highgate station.I am very grateful for them inviting me along and I hope they will keep up the good work!”
