A massive art mural created by local school children and residents has been unveiled in St Ann’s.
The artwork, commissioned by Nottingham City Homes, surrounds a site earmarked for new social housing and runs along the busy Woodborough Road and St Ann’s Way.
It was designed by children at Huntingdon Primary School and residents at High Cross Leys Housing scheme.
Their designs were then brought to life by talented Nottingham based artist Nathan Bainbridge aka Small Kid. Speaking about the mural, he said: “It has been a pleasure to have worked on the painting the hoardings for Nottingham City Homes, taking the kids drawings and painting them massive. This has brought a splash of colour to the area and has received a positive response from people in the area”.
The mural has been put on hoarding boards surrounding a new social housing development. Nottingham City Council and Nottingham City Homes are working together to create 24 new energy efficient and affordable rent council homes in St Ann’s.
The project came about after the previous plain hoardings were targeted by vandals and NCH, the Council and Local ward councillors from St Ann’s came up with the idea of the colourful artwork in the hopes that the hoardings would be left alone.
