Riverside commissioned a local art company to work with residents in Dovecot to design and paint a number of striking benches in the form of books.

Working with Prospect GB Ltd, Blueberry Park Primary School, Dovecot Neighbourhood Council and M&H Academy, Tag-Art created the decorative seats, to be installed in our new housing development in Maidford Road. Joe Morgan, from M&H Academy, worked with the UCan Youth Project on one of the designs.

He said: “It was a brilliant experience for our group who worked really hard with Nicola on their ideas. Our bench is just great.”
