Young villagers got creative by drawing pictures on paper as they waited for chalk to decorate the side of the road.

Daisy Ben Dayan, 5, and her younger brother Raphael, 3, got busy outside their home while Kaylem Lavers, drew a bright drawing telling villagers “everything will be OK” in English and Italian

The village notice board has also been posted with drawings as there are no meetings while the coronavirus lockdown rules prevent social gatherings are in place.

Debbie Nyman, of the Roe Green Village Residents’ Association, said: “There has been a delay in getting hold of coloured chalks so in the meantime, not to be deterred, the children have been drawing some colourful messages and placing them in the windows.
