At the start of 2024, we ran a design activity for children and young people to design a public sign on the theme of 'cleaner and greener'.
These signs are now displayed permanently across Medway and help shape Child-friendly Medway’s latest initiative to protect the local environment.
In total, 100 signs designed by Medway’s children and young people have been installed in our greenspaces, high streets, parks and roads.
Each sign was designed using one of the following 6 key environmental themes:
- littering
- dog fouling
- recycling
- car idling
- plant more flowers and trees
- take care of the wildlife.
To inspire this initiative, children and young people highlighted these issues and ideas to the Child-friendly Medway team.
