Hoardings Around Site

Three Melton Primary Schools have been lucky enough to have their artwork displayed in Melton for all to see.  As the new Council offices are being built, their colourful designs are being shown on the hoardings surrounding the new building works  in Burton Street.

Primary schools in Melton were invited to enter the competition to design a piece of artwork to go around the building site entitled ‘Animals in the Countryside’.  Three schools were chosen as winners from the entries for their colourful and inventive work: Croxton Kerrial, Sherard and Waltham on the Wolds.

Malise Graham, Leader of the Council, said :

‘The Children's interpretation of 'Animals in the Countryside'  provides an interesting and colourful display which will be seen by hundreds of people over the coming months.  The Council is delighted  to be involved in this project with local schools.’

Councillor Elaine Holmes who judged the school entries when she was Mayor last year added :

‘I was extremely impressed by the standard of the schools’ entries  and it made the judging very difficult to choose the winning drawings. I feel proud of the schools’ achievements and for the dedication of the teachers in promoting this project in the Borough’s primary schools.’ 

The students’ entries are on display on the walkway to the station surrounding the building works over the coming months for visitors and residents of the Borough to see alongside Borough photographs as well as a timeline of Melton.

It is felt important for local people and visitors to know about the history and chronology of Melton and the Council is glad for the opportunity to display this information at such an accessible town location.

Vision panels have been inset within the hoardings so that the public can safely watch activities on the site.
