Newton Primary School pupils return rubber bands to Chester’s Royal Mail office in a bid to protect wildlife.

NEWTON Primary School pupils had a ball at Chester sorting office.

The youngsters walked from their school in Kingsway West to Station Road to present Royal Mail distribution manager Lee Martin with an eight-inch diameter ball made up of rubber bands dropped by postal workers on their rounds in Newton.

Teaching assistant Debbie Lee, who accompanied the children, said: “Mr Martin was wonderful with the children. He listened to what they had to say about the environmental issues surrounding discarded rubber bands.

“He was very concerned about the number of bands the pupils had found.”
