Aylesbury MP launches lockdown 'love where you live' art competition
With people spending a lot more time in their homes and the surrounding area due to the coronavirus restrictions, Rob is encouraging children to create artwork based on what they love most about where they live.
Rob said: “I know that staying at home, away from the routine and certainty of school, has been particularly tough for children.

"This might be a building they have spotted on their daily walk, a beautiful landscape, or a nearby monument."
“We are lucky enough to live in a wonderful part of the country and, at this difficult time, I want to celebrate everything that is great about Aylesbury and the surrounding villages and
hamlets, whilst making sure everybody still stays safe.
“I would like entries from as many different children and places in my constituency as possible, the more creative the better.
