Nursery pupils in litter drive

CHILDREN at a nursery in Gilmerton will take to the streets with litter pickers in a bid to achieve an Eco-Schools Green Flag award.

Staff and kids at Chapter One Child Care on Drum Street will launch the start of a monthly litter pick on Wednesday when they help to spruce up the streets.

Senior nursery nurse Kelly Wilson said: "Children, parents, nursery staff and, hopefully, the local councillor will be picking up litter on Wednesday, but after that it will just be staff and children."
