Motion to Full Council
This ban came after a motion was put to and accepted by full Council to recognise the harmful effects that balloons and sky lanterns have on the environment as a result of a letter received from a Year 4 pupil in Northbrook Primary Academy in July 2022 (see letter below).
The letter asked the council to sign up to the Marine Conservation Society 'Don't Let Go' campaign, followed by pupils attending the Council meeting on 21 September 2022 to present their case.
