School children’s hoarding designs to be unveiled at Christmas event

Hoardings designed by local school children will be put up this Saturday (December 12) on empty properties as part of a Christmas event.

The art work has been completed by school children from The Crescent School in Meir, for a project organised by Renew, Great Places and Meir Community Steering Group.

The hoardings will be unveiled on two properties in The Square during the Christmas event for the local residents. The event is run by The Square Community Centre and will include Santa's grotto and a raffle.

Councillor Brian Ward, cabinet member for regeneration, said: “These children have put in a great deal of hard work to design this fantastic artwork which will replace the temporary hoardings already in place. This event will provide the perfect backdrop for the unveiling as all the local community can come and see the work while enjoying the festive atmosphere.”

The celebration event takes place between 3pm and 6pm and is open to everyone.
