Local MP presents prize to Christmas card winner

Tim Farron MP has announced the long-awaited results of his annual Christmas card competition. He presented the first prize to Brooklyn Walling, aged 4, at Milnthorpe Primary School this morning.

Brooklyn's design has been made into a Christmas card which is being delivered to 40,000 homes across the South Lakes. Second prize went to Bradley Jones of Sandgate School, Kendal and third prize to Laura Haggin of Heron Hill School, Kendal. All three winners have received book tokens.

Speaking after the prize giving, Tim said: "I had great fun choosing our winners this year, and the decision was not an easy one.

"The presentation this morning was a really enjoyable way to start my week; Brooklyn's design has made a brilliant Christmas card.

"I'd like to say a huge thank you to all the pupils who took part and wish all of them a very Merry Christmas!"
