00:00Hello there, it's Richard Hunt here from the Blackpool Cassette.
00:03Now, Flake Fleet Primary School in Fleetwood first came to national attention back in 2019
00:09when they reached the final of Britain's Got Talent. They performed with the school choir
00:13a number of slightly chaotic songs aided and abetted by headteacher Dave McPartland.
00:19They made a real impact on the audience and also the judges with their very charming displays.
00:24They've also made a number of videos since then, released on their Facebook site,
00:29rather light-hearted videos which have just created a great deal of fun.
00:33But the latest video is a bit more serious. They've made a protest film
00:37about the landfill site nearby which has been causing a stink with residents
00:41with noxious fumes which have also had people worrying about the impact on their health.
00:47The pupils have also made a protest about it explaining why they want this to stop
00:52and how it's affected them. So let's take a look at their latest video.
00:56This is Flake Fleet Primary School's latest video about the smell. Thank you.
01:27Can't play footy. You can't even get some fresh air.
01:30Because it makes you feel sick. It's disgusting.
01:34We've had it for months. Months? How is that fair?
01:38People keep saying something will be done. But nothing changes.
01:42You shouldn't have to put up with this. If this was in your own house, you'd sort it.
01:47The adults have been trying. They've complained.
01:50And they've shouted. But nothing's happened.
01:53So maybe, just maybe, if they weren't listening to the adults, maybe they'd listen to us.
