The children have enjoyed their challenge as Gillian Robertson, Deputy Head Teacher of Borestone Primary School adds: "George Wimpey understands the importance of our children's safety and has created an interactive and fun competition that has appealed to our children. The children have enjoyed creating their posters, and I'm sure will be excited to see their work displayed around the safety fencing of the development as they are to be put to great use to advise the general public of the danger and to keep well away."
