25 SEPTEMBER 2006 - A photograph of stunning skies over
Sharow has been chosen as the overall winner in a photographic
competition for council tenants. This will be
used on the cover of a council calendar for next year alongside a
further 12 winning entries.
Over the summer months, Harrogate Borough Council's tenants
and leaseholders were invited to send in photographs of their home,
garden or area that they live in to be used in the calendar which
will be issued to all council tenants and will include information
about housing services.
Councillor Jean Butterfield, Cabinet Member for Housing, said:
"We have some wonderful council homes in very picturesque parts of
the district, whether that be a cottage in Copt Hewick or a
bungalow in Bilton. And our tenants
certainly showed their skills in capturing some delightful
scenes.
"Entries were outstanding so judging was difficult but we all
agreed that the shot of Sharow entered by Mr Bryan Richards just
had to be shown on the front cover."
Thanks to support from local businesses including the Odeon
Cinema, Morrison's, BHS, Fountains Abbey, Verrall's Casa Romana,
Harrogate International Centre and ASDA, all thirteen winners will
receive a prize. ENDS
