A black and white newcomer to the Anfield/Breckfield area of Liverpool is causing quite a stir in the neighbourhood! The new arrival is a 40kg life-size model cow who has taken up residence in the Gilman Street community garden.
Residents have been intrigued by the cow’s enigmatic presence and are now keen to adopt her as one of their own.
The cow has been welcomed by LHT’s Jigsaw team (part of Vicinity Group) who landscaped the field after the demolition of older property in the area as part of the Housing Market Renewal Programme.
Working in partnership with New Heartlands, Liverpool City Council and the local community, Jigsaw created the wildflower garden last year as an improvement to an area that is currently undergoing a radical process of change.
In response to the attention that the cow is attracting, Jigsaw has decided that she should be formally adopted and are running a competition to name her.
The competition is open to all Merseyside households and the winning name will be chosen on 31st August with the chance to win a mountain bike.
Talking about the competition, Terry Bouch from Jigsaw said: “One of the first words children say is moo and I think people have a natural affinity with these animals. We are delighted by the interest the cow is generating and think she fully deserves an official naming ceremony.”
