The Flower House
After spending an evening wandering around the town and judging the festive entries, sculptor Andrew Logan chose the winners as the Eaves & Lord bookshop and The Flower House.
Andrew is an artist, sculptor and jewellery designer based in Berriew.
He judged the competition based on two categories – business and residential/domestic properties.

Judith Barnes, from the Montgomery Christmas Festival Committee, said: “Andrew had a wide variety of designs and displays to choose from and the Christmas Festival Committee, on behalf of Andrew Logan, are pleased to announce that the Bookshop (Eaves & Lord) and The Flower House were the joint winning entries for the business properties.
Harmful effects of failure to share NHS records
SIR – For some years I have attended the Royal Eye Infirmary at Dorset County Hospital to undertake regular monitoring tests for my glaucoma.
In March this year, the NHS very sensibly opened a standalone eye clinic in the town, in order to relieve some of the pressures on the eye infirmary at Dorset County Hospital.
On completion of my examination, eye scans and visual fields test, the results were immediately and carefully reviewed by the optometrist, who told me that, as this was my first appointment with the clinic, I should return in four months’ time for duplicate tests so that they might begin to establish a monitoring record.

The nine year old has been able to donate £100 to the charity which works across the world to transform lives by improving access to clean water, toilets and hygiene. Jenny said: “I chose to support Water Aid because we twinned a tap in Montgomery Children’s Church to help people who live in poor countries and protect them from COVID-19. “I thought this was a really good practical thing to help, so I decided I’d like to raise more funds for them.”
