A MOTHER has ensured her daughter can make plenty of trips home to the North-East after winning her a car.
Jenny Jolly, 25, originally of Ushaw Moor, near Durham City, won a competition to mark the relaunch of the city's Milburngate Shopping Centre car park.
Miss Jolly, who only passed her driving test in February and was saving for her first car, was entered into the prize draw by her mother.
"I am over the moon," she said. "It's something you dream about, but would never expect it to happen. The whole thing was a complete surprise, as I didn't even know I had been entered.
"As I work in Sheffield now it also means I can visit home more easily."
The competition, run in conjunction with The Northern Echo and Century Radio, was held to mark the £400,000 refurbishment of the car park.
Miss Jolly was presented with the Suzuki Alto car by shopping centre director Andy Bradley
