Parkway Green tenant Harriet Wood won the prestigious Wythenshawe's Got Talent competition at the glittering final on Friday 17 October. The night at the Forum was a huge success as Wythenshawe really did itself proud.

Harriet, a singer from Northern Moor, impressed the judges and the audience with a stunning performance of Whitney Houston's 'Run to You' to claim victory by just one point.

"I'm over the moon to have won - it means the world to me!" said a delighted Harriet. "Hopefully I can use this as a springboard to greater things."

The event will definitely be back bigger and better next year."
