Could you help a developer name new streets in the south of the Island? You could win a share of a £1,200 prize pot.

Haven Homes is holding a competition which will see primary school children in Castletown name four streets at its new development, The Meadows.

The company is looking for names with local historical or geographical connections and says it won't use people's names or anything with a commercial interest.

You have until Friday, October 22 to enter- more details are available on the firm's Facebook page.
