‘Art attack’ transforms a rundown subway walk

10:10am Sunday 17th June 2012 in Your Town

MUMS, kids and volunteers launched an art attack in a run-down subway.

About 20 pupils from Kearsley Academy joined forces with three artists to cover the walls of the dis- mal subway under the Kearsley roundabout with a colourful mural for the community to enjoy.

Plans to spruce up the area began in February when a group of mums got fed up of walking past the graffiti-covered walls everyday on the school run.

Together the six women formed the Kearsley and Farnworth Vision Group and started the sub- way project with Kearsley Acade- my.

Sharon Tonge, chairman of the group, said: “Everyone has loved doing it and we’ve had so many people comment on how much bet- ter it looks now.

“It’s more brilliant than I could have imagined.

“The kids have absolutely loved painting it with the artists, and the girls from Asda who came down to help for the day were great, too.”

Sharon, aged 41, hopes to tackle the roundabout’s second walkway with primary school pupils from Kearsley West and Spindle Point for their next project. Pupils from Kearsley Academy’s school coun- cil worked in teams to brainstorm ideas for the mural before finalis- ing their choice of designs last week.

The artwork focused on giving out “positive and inspiring” mes- sages to the community who use the subway.

Offenders from the community payback scheme also helped clean up the walkway, working for 35 hours to scrub off the anti-vandal paint.

Dave Bowyer, who manages the community payback teams for the Greater Manchester Probation Trust (GMPT), said: “I am delight- ed that teams of offenders rigor- ously supervised by GMPT have completed this project and have, in a very real way, paid back to the community against which they offended.”

Tracy Fenton and her team of artists from Bolton’s ArtFantastic organisation outlined the artwork before the pupils set to work with their paintbrushes.

Tracy said:”It’s a piece of public artwork and the feedback has been absolutely overwhelming.

“People have said that the posi- tive message and colours of the mural makes them feel safer when they’re walking through the sub- way.”
