During the visits, the MP for Chester North and Neston presented festive prizes to the winners and awarded certificates to every pupil who took part. She praised the creativity on display across all entries.

The MP said:

“Thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s competition. The incredible talent shown by pupils made it extremely hard to pick a winner. I’m absolutely delighted with Penny and Rosie’s wonderful designs, which will be my official Christmas card this year.”
