West Park are First Class!
West Park Primary School are set to be the first 'solar' school in Hartlepool.
Paul Hewitson, project co-ordinator of Hartlepower CIC asked listeners of Radio Hartlepool to vote in the 'M&S Community Energy' competition.
It was a nail-biting time as the local school was up against several across the country to be in with a chance of winning the funding of £40,000.
The pupils and parents used social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter to gain votes.
The school is already classed as a 'green flag eco school' and now winning this will ensure they can take it to the next level.
