Pupils from across the county came up with designs for a poster competition to warn of the dangers of fireworks.

Oxfordshire County Council received more than 700 entries from primary school pupils for its contest in categories for pupils aged four to seven and eight to 11.

The 20 finalists attended a presentation at County Hall, in Oxford, on Wednesday. Trading standards officers and firefighters joined the pupils to look at the winning designs.

Judith Heathcoat, county council cabinet member for safer and stronger communities, said: “The standard of designs was particularly high this year and I know our judges had a really tough job.

“I look forward to seeing the winning designs up and around Oxfordshire next year as part of our ongoing safety awareness campaign work.”
