Anti-nuclear scarecrow competition, Lincolnshire

Posted: 3rd November 2021

A Lincolnshire village was invaded by nuclear-themed scarecrows this
Halloween weekend. The Guardians of the East Coast group, who are
campaigning against a proposed geological disposal facility in
Theddlethorpe, organised the competition which saw local residents create
scarecrows to “represents the impact of a Nuclear dump on our coast and
community”. The winners of the competition were Maggie Loy, David Deekens
and Hannah Goodley-Jones, taking home £50, £30, and £20 respectively. A
spokesman for GOTEC said: “We’ve been blown away by the standard of the
entries for our first anti-nuclear scarecrow competition and choosing the
winners wasn’t easy. “We’d like to thank all who took part, raising
awareness in a fun way. Let’s hope it doesn’t need to become an annual
event.”
