"In all the difficulties in the past year, one of the highlights has been seeing so many special drawings of our town as hundreds of school children entered my first ever Christmas Card Competition.
"It was very hard to choose the winner and runners-up of my competition as they were all excellent entries. But, in the end, I had to choose the winning design for the front of my Christmas card to residents.
"Huge congratulations go to Tasnia from Hare Street Primary School who won the competition with a remarkable drawing of many Harlow landmarks including the Bird sculpture in the Water gardens. I would also like to congratulate the runners-up: Molly from St Alban's Primary, Isabelle from Fawbert and Barnard's Primary, Scarlett from Longwood Primary and Kaci-May from Little Parndon Primary for their fantastic designs.
"As soon as restrictions permit, I will be meeting with Tasnia, Molly, Isabelle, Scarlett and Kaci-May to present them with their prizes and thank them for their entries.
