🌦️ The weather may be a little dull, but our Wonderful West subway is now looking clean, colourful and bright! 🎨✨

After many hours of hard work, the mural at Spencer Close (by Hickory's), off Tewkesbury Way, is finally complete and proudly showcasing some of our favourite local places and landmarks. 🏡🌳❤️

The Street Art boards we installed at Rivermead Skate Park are very popular with local artists so we have added two new ones! You will find them on the Mannington to Blagrove footpath, halfway between the two subways (Roundway down & Bodiam Drive). Show us your fabulous designs - get painting!

Now that the better weather is here, our Mobile Litter Picking Station is making an appearance. Today it has been installed at Shaw Forest car park next to the bins and will be there until Monday morning. So if you're out for a walk why not grab a bag and litter picker - a few minutes picking can make an immediate visual difference!
