• Say the Leeds and you're smiling. It was a clean sweep for Leeds kids in the Commercial Motor children's livery competition which was judged by television presenter Tony Hart of Vision On and Hartbeat.
The children had to come up with an eye-catching livery for a truck for either a fireworks company, a fruit and veg supplier, or a toy maker, and then put it on an artic outline sent out by CM to hundreds of schools throughout the country.
In the 9-11 age group first, second and third prizes were all won by pupils from Leeds primary/middle schools. Claire Hill and Katherine Pearson took first and third honours with their "Toysack" and "Sparks" liveries, earning a total of 2450 for Whinmoor Middle School. Meanwhile, at Holy Rosary and St Anne's Primary School in Chapeltown, Teresa Dybisz won second place with her "Toy Flicker" design which won 2200 for her school.
CM editor Brian Weatherley presented the Leeds trio with their prizes, which included framed certificates signed by Tony Hart, model trucks and sets of paints.
