Andover’s mayor has been supporting good causes in Andover as part of a series of engagements. Richard Rowles was out at Tesco earlier this month to judge a Christmas decoration contest for young people. He was tasked with giving out three accolades for the best decoration, picking them from across different age groups. He awarded a reindeer made out of jigsaw pieces by 12-year-old Brooke; a cotton pad snowman made by 7-year-old James and a cardboard snowman made by 4-year-old Amy aged 4 top marks. The mayor said: “What a brilliant idea to keep people s spirits up at this time of year. They’re yet more examples of how the people of Andover are refusing to allow Christmas to be cancelled.
