Lights out to help out the planet Photographs wanted for coronation

SHINFIELD Parish Council is urging residents to take part in a global initiative which promotes sustainable living.

On March 25, Earth Hour will see households switch off all of their non-essential lights, and the Wokingham village will look to do the same.

More than 23,800 people from 95 countries have already pledged to give up their time learning how they can take care of the environment and inspire others to do so.

The parish council has demonstrated its commitment to the environment through its Adopt a Street project, which sees residents carry out litter picks in their neighbourhoods.

The effort will take place from 8.30pm9.30pm, but will hopefully encourage residents to consider being more cautious with their electrical output in the future.

SHINFIELD Parish Council is calling on residents to submit photographs to be used in a special artwork to celebrate King Charles III’s coronation.

Residents are being asked to send in family photos, pictures of Shinfield landmarks and even pet snaps, which will make up a modern photo mosaic of the King.

The finished version will be displayed in the School Green Centre before and after the coronation.

The parish council has said it needs thousands of pictures to create this piece and hopes it can be a way for the community to come together.

Submissions must be made online through the parish council’s website.
