A SCHOOLBOY has won a competition by designing a house for the future.

Tony Harrison, 12, a pupil at Gillbrook School, in South Bank, won the overall top prize - a Sony PlayStation 2 - for his design as part of an east Cleveland housing association's drawing competition for 11 to 16-year-olds.

Iain Sim, chief executive of Coast and Country Housing, which manages 12,000 homes in the Redcar and Cleveland area, said: "Congratulations must go to Tony Harrison.

"A great deal of thought and hard work went into his vision of a house of the future.

"Congratulations must also go to all the competition winners."

The housing association also ran a colouring competition, which was won by Georgina Webster, aged four, a pupil at Beech Grove School, South Bank, and a spot the difference quiz, won by Ricky Gregory, of St Peter's School, South Bank.
