An eight-year-old competition winner from Attleborough has helped put up a town’s first ‘voluntary smoke-free zone’ sign.

Freya Gallant won the Breckland District Council ‘public play areas’ category to encourage the introduction of smoke-free zones used by children.

Freya designed the new sign, which has been installed at the Castle Play Area in Thetford.

‘Smoke-free’ signs will now be placed in the town’s 13 public play areas.
