Winners of the team categories were Logan Fennel, Jonty Beales, and Sonny Hart for their video No to Litter; and Isabelle Briggs, Elsie Webster, Abigail Power, and Evie Bayliss for their video, also titled No to Litter.

Cllr Kirton welcomed the winners to Chepstow Methodist Church on Wednesday. Also attending were PFC’s partners at Monmouthshire council, Keep Chepstow Tidy, and Chepstow Action for Youth.

Graham Eele, of PFC, said: “Litter affects us all – it’s really important that all sections of the community are involved in making littering unacceptable.

“We’re looking forward to seeing these ideas put into action.”
