CHRISTMAS came early for Blackrod Church Primary School pupil Blayze Armitage, who won a tablet computer.

He was the winner of the “Be Bright Be Seen” competition and was given his prize by Cllr Ann Cunliffe at a special assembly held at the school.

The competition was funded by Horwich and Blackrod councillors Stephen Pickup, Ann Cunliffe and Lindsey Kell through the Area Forum and supported by Bolton Council’s Road Safety Unit.

The competition was held between the four primary schools in the ward of Horwich and Blackrod to encourage pupils to wear hi-vis jackets.
