A YORK mother is hoping to win a competition so her 'rubble wasteland' garden can be transformed into a safe place for her children to play while her sick husband is travelling to receive treatment.

Hayley Turner is one of 1,700 contestants in MyBuilder.com's Magical Garden Makeover contest.

She said her two children could not play out and her husband, soon to receive treatment including chemo in London, would 'love it if he thought something was getting done about the garden.'

People can vote for the family until midnight on Saturday, by going to https://www.mybuilder.com/competitions/garden-makeover-2018/entries/13041
