Brilliant to visit - very socially distanced as you can see - Williamwood High School with local Cllr Annette Ireland recently, to present an Early Day Motion to 16 year old Michael Sinclair, an S5 student who has done exceptional voluntary work, making a significant difference to the environment in our local area. Michael has done more than 350 hours volunteering in Linn Park, encouraging biodiversity and running a successful nest box programme. I know he was busy there again this past weekend. His influence on those around him is significant. Michael chairs the school environment committee, which he set up, and regularly puts himself out to speak about connecting people with the environment. Michael was recently awarded a Diana Award for his outstanding work. A hugely impressive young man. Well done him.
The Early Day Motion reads:
