Young Wokingham people's designs to transform subway
A Wokingham project to brighten up a currently unloved subway will take place in Earley / Shinfield next week.
Wokingham Borough Council community wardens Zarron Phillips and Rod Mertens have arranged for young people in the area to design street art to decorate the subway and for a professional street artist to turn their art into reality. The artist will be working with young residents on the designs next week.
The subway has been the target of graffiti, vandalism and fly-tipping in the past and residents are keen to see it improved.
Local primary schools, youth clubs and the Shinfield Ride Residents’ Association have been involved in producing the designs, which will feature a countryside scene on one side and an ocean scene on the other, with a space ship scene on the ceiling.
Young people on reparation orders from Wokingham’s Youth Offending Scheme will be white-washing the walls as part of the project.
After completion, the artwork will be given a protective varnish over the designs.
