50001846B020 BY 2020 Barrow will have changed. Maybe for the better. We’ll be able to stop the war in Iraq, maybe even WAR.

Ethan Doyle

50001846B007 THE Barrow I would like to see in 2020 is Barrow AFC get to the Premier League because celebrities will visit Barrow and hotels will get more money and Barrow rugby to beat all the best teams in the Super League and it will be one of the most visited towns in England.

Ellie Harrison

50001846B012 IN 2020 hopefully Barrow will still have what it is famous for, the shipyard. Having the shipyard has attracted many people to visit and work in Barrow. This has made Barrow much more popular.

Lauren Niven

50001846B013 IN 2020 I will be 20. I might have babies of my own. Children now will be teenagers then, Mum and Dad will be getting old, Grandma and Granddad will be very old. Everybody is different.
