Children at a primary school have documented a debate about the responsibilities of a meat-eating society on film.

Fifteen pupils in year six at Keelham Primary School, at Denholme Gate, have been learning about the issues behind the recent public furore concerning food-waste lorries passing through their village – presenting both sides of the debate with the help of Partners In Innovation.

Waste-carrying firm Omega Proteins won an appeal in November to be allowed to double the number of lorries travelling in and out of its rendering plant in nearby Thornton, subject to measures to reduce noise from vehicles along the access road to the site.

The school’s ongoing project will be presented alongside similar video diaries from other schools at the Royal Armouries museum in Leeds in March.
