PUPILS at Cardross Primary, like most of their classmates in the village and across Scotland, may not be walking to school in the morning, and home again in the afternoon, right now – but that isn’t stopping them spreading the word about one thing that makes the walk to or from the school gates a particularly unpleasant experience.
They’ve been spending some of their ‘home learning’ time designing and making posters to spread awareness of their ‘Bag It, Bin It’ campaign to keep dog poo off the village’s streets.
Seth's message: simple and to the point
A Cardross Primary spokesperson said: “Dog fouling left by owners has become a big problem in the village recently and it’s just not acceptable!

“The problem is particularly bad on the pavements around our school and for the health and safety of our pupils we urge people to pick up after their dogs.
“Pupils have displayed their posters on garden gates around the village in the hope that people step up to their responsibilities.”
The pupils’ recent campaign is part of their ongoing work towards gaining the school’s fifth Eco Schools Scotland Green Flag, which they will apply for later this session.
