Extreme makeover for Kendal subway

Romney Bridge Mosiac ProjectWork is due to start on a dramatic makeover for the subway that runs under Romney Bridge in Kendal. The idea first came from a South Lakeland Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) project and art exhibition with year 7 students from QKS and KKS in 2008. Students discussed the areas where they lived or played and gave the thumbs up or thumbs down to certain parts of Kendal. The subway under Romney Bridge got a big thumbs down because it was dirty, smelly and dark, with graffiti covered walls.
