Schoolgirl makes ‘be kind’ signs for city park

A poster about anti-social behavior, designed by a 10-year-old child, will be permanently displayed in a local park.

Mia, who attends Beverley St Nicholas Primary School, took part in a workshop where 85 pupils were tasked with creating their own posters about the harms of anti-social behaviour.

Mia’s design highlighted actions such as harassment, bullying and littering.

His work has now been transformed into a sign and installed in Mud Hills Park, off Wilberforce Crescent, Beverley.

Lyn Healing, cabinet member for communities and public protection at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “We are committed to building safer communities, and these early interventions are crucial in deterring children from anti-social behavior.

“Congratulations to Mia for her hard work and I hope this helps ensure Beverley remains a good place to live.”

The workshop was designed to help children, approaching secondary school age, understand the negative effects that anti-social behavior can have.
