PRIMARY school pupils will design a new Civic Crest for the Lord Mayor of York’s official Christmas cards this year, in a competition.

Two finalists from each school will receive afternoon tea at the Mansion House, then Cllr Ian Gillies will name the winner, who will travel home in the Mayoral car.

Cllr Gillies said: “It will be great to welcome a number of the entrants to the Mansion House and offer them a tour of the historic building and I’m sure I will have a tough decision to make selecting a winner.”
