Council urges children to get busy with their brushes with designs for new street sweepers

East Lindsey District Council is inviting children to design artwork that will transform the district’s newly delivered street sweepers into mobile works of art.

Aimed at fostering creativity among young residents, the contest encourages participants aged 4 to 11 to submit artwork that could be featured and seen on roads of East Lindsey.

Cllr Martin Foster said: “This contest not only beautifies our street sweepers but also provides a platform for our young citizens to contribute visibly and valuably to their district.”

“Our children are the heart of this community, and their perspectives are as refreshing as they are insightful. Seeing their artwork on our street sweepers will be a daily reminder of the talent and creativity we nurture in our district.”

Competition Details:

  • Eligibility: Open to children ages 4-11 residing in East Lindsey.
  • Submission Deadline: 31 October 2024.
  • Theme: Participants are encouraged to create artworks that reflect what their community means to them.
  • Prizes: Winners will have their designs featured on street sweepers and receive a certificate and a Lego sweeper.
  • How to Enter: Entries can be submitted digitally by emailing communications@e-lindsey.gov.uk or post out to ELDC Street Scene Depot, Bolingbroke Road, Fairfield Industrial Estate, Louth, LN11 OWA.

The winners will be announced at an unveiling ceremony for November, where the newly decorated street sweepers will be showcased. “We hope this initiative will not only make our streets a little brighter but also spark a lifelong interest in the arts for our young participants,” added Councillor Foster.
