Picture Perfect Housing Calendar
26 JULY 2007: TENANTS
of Harrogate Borough Council have taken up the challenge and their cameras to provide some stunning shots for next year's Tenants' calendar.
The overall winner is Lesley Peplow of Harewood Road, Harrogate, whose photograph of a beautiful flower border took first prize.
This will now be used as the front cover for the calendar, which is used to keep council tenants informed on housing services and key dates in the year.
Councillor Jean Butterfield, Cabinet Member for Housing, said the judging panel found it difficult to pick an overall winner.
"This photographic competition is proving to be very popular.
There were many that came close to taking first prize.
I would like to thank all the tenants who took part and to congratulate them on their technique.
I would also like to thank those companies who supported us by donating prizes for the winning entries."
