The three winners of Greener Ealing's truck art competition have been selected and their artwork revealed.

The competition, organised by Greener Ealing, Ealing Council's refuse, recycling and grounds maintenance contractor, invited young artists to create a piece of art with a positive environmental message.

Their artwork will feature on the side of recycling trucks in the borough later this year.

Messages aimed at reminding residents of their environmental responsibilities and ways to help tackle climate change.

The winners are:

• Holly Cracknell, age five (Little Ealing Primary School)

• Lolita Phelan-LLorca, age nine (Hobbayne Primary School)

• Rida Habib Raza, age 12 (Villiers High School)

Winner, Lolita Phelan-Llorca said: "When I was making my entry I thought about everything I would recycle and what bins you should put them in, it's important to put the right things in the right bins.

"Recycling is a good choice to make to help the environment."

Each winner will receive a goodie bag and voucher, and their school will get a selection of art supplies.

Councillor Deirdre Costigan, cabinet member for climate action, said: "I loved looking through the entries, we have some very talented young people in the borough.

"It was particularly interesting to see the type of messages they chose to share.

"It's so important to understand how our behaviours can have such a huge impact on the environment and the world we live in.

"I really hope people appreciate the messages from our younger residents and do their bit to bring positive change."

The competition was judged by Greener Ealing's interim managing director Kevin O'Leary, Councillor Costigan and Ealing artist Jessica Rose.

Look out for the Greener Ealing trucks featuring the winning artwork later this year.
