A housing development in Ramsey now has a name - thanks to an idea by junior school pupil Judi-Rose Smith.
Judi-Rose, 10, came up with Ramsey Park for the David Wilson Homes scheme off Biggin Lane in a competition held by Ramsey Junior School after the housebuilder asked for pupils suggestions.
Her entry was the winner out of nearly 100 entries and the development will now be known as Ramsey Park - but Judi-Rose will not be able to make her official visit to the site until the coronavirus lockdown restrictions are lifted.
