In the run-up to the recent launch of the Newport Good Neighbour scheme, local schoolchildren were asked to design a poster showing what being a good neighbour meant to them.
The competition was sponsored by local architect, John Bishop, and several children received prizes at the actual launch of the Good Neighbour scheme in Newport Memorial Hall.
There was also a competition for both adults and children to create a healthy lunch box. Sandra Bayes was the adult winner while Annabel and Polly Sykes won the children’s section.
Sandra is pictured standing left along with: Councillor Andy Benham (Newport Mayor); County Councillor Mike James, Reg Atkins (Unsung Hero winner) and John Bishop.
In the front row are the prize-winning children (from the left): Elenor McCrory (winner of the five to seven years age group); Liam Lewis
(seven to 11-year-olds winner); Polly Sykes, Bethany Hayes (seven to 11-year-olds runner-up) and Ffion Evans (third in seven to 11-year-old age group).
They are flanked by Rachel Gibby, the County Council’s Good Neighbour scheme coordinator and Newport Good Neighbours chairman, Ken Davies.
