Belsize Sisters Win Art Competion

As part of the investing in Camden’s homes consultation two sisters from Belsize have been awarded top prize in the Council’s ‘Picture your home’ art competition. Sisters Natasha Petrie-Baker (11) and Alexandra Petrie-Baker (14) were announced joint winners in the age 11-14 category. Samuel Alferink (8) from Holborn won the age 7-10 category.

More than 80 children aged 14 or under, from across Camden, entered the ‘Picture your home’ competition, which was launched to help children and young people to have their say on the Council’s plans to invest in Camden’s homes. Entrants submitted hand-crafted pictures of their home, along with an explanation of what they like best about their home and how their home could be improved.

Camden Council’s Executive Member for Housing, Cllr Chris Naylor, who judged the competition, said: “It has been great to hear the views and opinions of children across Camden as part of our consultation on plans to raise the £242 million needed to invest in our council homes and transform the lives of tens of thousands of our residents.”
