Residents on a Workington housing estate have stood up to vandals and bring pride back to the neighbourhood.

The bus shelter on Trinity Drive in Northside had become an eyesore because it was targeted by vandals who daubed it with graffiti.

But adults and children who live on the estate decided to make a stand and paint the shelter to create a welcoming landmark for the estate.

Artist Di McGhee designed a mural, taking inspiration from Siddick Ponds and worked with the residents to develop the project.

Celia Tibble, county councillor for the area, also helped paint the bus shelter.

She said: "This project is important because it's giving the community some pride back. This mural makes a nice and cheerful entrance to Northside.

"It's lovely to see lots of members of the community helping out.

Lisa Clark, community support officer at Your Derwent And Solway, organised the event.

She said: "This bus shelter was covered in graffiti and we wanted to make this a positive community project, by getting a group of residents to help us paint it."

Bell Group supplied the materials and painted the base of the bus shelter and its partners PPG supplied the paint for the project.
