EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1990, we witness the commendable efforts of Lostwithiel Mayor, John Reed, as he joins forces with the dedicated members of the Lostwithiel Green Group to inaugurate a new paper bank in their beloved town. The location chosen for this significant milestone is none other than the site of the old cattle market, symbolizing a transformation from outdated practices to sustainable initiatives. Over the past year, these passionate Green members have tirelessly organized monthly collections of paper, demonstrating to Restormel Council that Lostwithiel is in dire need of a permanent collection point for recycling. Their determination has paid off as they stand proudly beside Mayor Reed on this momentous occasion. The photograph captures not only their enthusiasm but also showcases George Bright-Roberts and Richard Bower - two key figures within the Green Group - providing invaluable assistance. Perched atop the newly established paper bank is Wayne Dungey, an embodiment of dedication and commitment towards environmental preservation. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully immortalizes this scene which encapsulates hope and progress. With its striking composition featuring elements such as Mayoral chain symbolizing leadership and a sturdy steel container representing resilience, it serves as an inspiring reminder that change begins at home. This powerful image resonates deeply with Cornwall's rich heritage while highlighting its forward-thinking approach towards sustainability. It stands testament to how collective action can shape communities for generations to come without mentioning any commercial use or specific company involvement
