Homes builder David Wilson Homes looked to Market Drayton Junior School children to design a card for home buyers moving in to its nearby Drayton Meadows development on Blandford Way in a "welcome home" initiative.

Ava Highfield was the winner of the competition and will see her cards printed and delivered to new residents, and also wins a £50 gift card. Prizes were also given to two other children who came in second and third in the competition.

Charlotte Wharton-Jenkins, teacher and head of art at the school, said the children had created bright and inviting card designs.

"They used the local area's history of gingerbread and annual festivities to celebrate their home town and welcome new residents.”
