SOUTHAMPTON pupils saw their ideas come to life after they won a competition to design a new waste solution lorry.

Haulage firm Raymond Brown launched a bid for youngsters to help come up with new ideas to help support their recycling efforts.

As a result 13 pupils from Year 8 at Regents Park school were crowned winners and had their work showcased when a lorry bearing their artwork pulled into the school.

Head of year Liz Bishop said: "The students and the staff are very excited to see our new lorry on the road and I am very proud of what my year group has achieved.

"As a school, we are grateful of the opportunities afforded us by companies, such as Raymond Brown which allow students’ learning to extend beyond the classroom."
