Local creative thinkers living in and around Petersfield are invited to put their own stamp on part of the town’s future.

McCarthy Stone is challenging locals to come up with a name for its forthcoming Retirement Living Plus development on Harrier Way, with a chance to win a cash prize. The winner will receive £100, with their best suggestion being put forward as a potential contender.

Verity McKay, divisional marketing manager at McCarthy Stone, said: “We are looking for a name which will really represent the local community. It can be inspired by anything from local landmarks to natural beauty spots like Petersfield Heath.”

To enter, email [email protected] with your proposed name and the reason behind it. Entries should include name, contact details and ‘Petersfield naming competition’ in the subject header.

The competition is open to people of all ages and the deadline is Wednesday, January 1.
