02 December 2011 School pupils enjoy environmental health fair More than 350 children from schools in Borehamwood and Elstree descended on the civic offices of Hertemere Borough Council for an interactive environmental health fair today The event, which is in its 15th year, had a number of stalls teaching children about health and the environment in the area.
Stalls at the event had displays about healthy eating, hygiene, recycling and a box where children were encouraged to scream as loud as the can, teaching them about noise pollution.
