Winning designs by local pupils aim to slow traffic at Broomhouse

We challenged Primary 5 pupils of St Bridget’s Primary School in Baillieston to design a sign that could be installed near our show homes off Muirhouse Road in Broomhouse to encourage drivers to slow down.

Taylor Wimpey Broomhouse Glasgow speed sign design competition

Creating safe spaces in our community

The winning design - created by Anna Tomczakowskai (aged 9) - has been recreated as signs that are now installed near the show homes of our latest phase of new homes at Broomhouse. Anna also won a £50 book token.

The overall standard of designs was so high that a further seven posters were chosen to create a banner for Taylor Wimpey’s show area car park to remind drivers to keep their speed down whilst moving around the area. Each child also received a £20 book token.

The children at St Bridget’s Primary rose to the challenge with the whole class taking part as Mrs O’Donnell Head Teacher at St Bridget’s comments: “Having the opportunity to work with Taylor Wimpey to create speed signs has been an unusual challenge but a great way to deliver a very important message.

“This is a lovely connection between our school and the local Taylor Wimpey development at Broomhouse. The children all really enjoyed tackling their brief to create a bold and colourful design and we are very proud of their efforts.”
