The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
District council waste and recycling officer Laura Simpkins and Coun Roger Gambba-Jones, portfolio holder for waste management, present Maria Silva with £1,000.
The latest lucky winner of South Holland District Council’s Green Bag Lottery has been revealed.
Maria Silva, of Beech Avenue, Spalding, won the £1,000 top prize and was presented with her cheque this week.
A delighted Mrs Silva said: “I am over the moon, I really can’t believe I have won.”
The Green Bag Lottery, which has been running since February, promotes good recycling and aims to raise awareness of its importance.
Every four weeks, ten households are randomly and secretly selected to take part.
Each one that presents recycling correctly for at least three of the four weeks is awarded £100 and they are then placed into a draw to win £1,000.
Coun Roger Gambba-Jones, the council’s portfolio holder for waste management, said: “We congratulate Maria and thank everyone who took part in the last round.
“The Green Bag Lottery has only been running for seven months but already it is raising awareness of good recycling across the district.”
