The pupil who designed a new sign for a an Orbit South Sheltered Housing Scheme has watched it being made.
Poppy Chapman from Charles Dickens School in Broadstairs entered a competition with 40 of her school mates to design the new sign for Cherry Court in St Peters.
After a rigorous judging session three residents chose Poppy’s lively tree and cherry design.
Poppy has now visited Blaze Neon along with scheme manager Teresa Austin and Orbit South’s Residents Engagement Officer Lisa Cornish to follow the process of the huge sign being made.
The group watched a massive printed produce the artwork then saw staff roll it onto its aluminium frame.
Teresa said: "We had a great time and all agreed that we’d never look at sign in the same way again.
"It was very rewarding for Poppy to see her sign being made and we’re looking forward to her coming to Cherry Court in September, once she’s back at school, to watch it being put up and carry out the official unveiling"
