Graffiti artist leave his mark in subways
Sep 30 2010 by David Powell, North Wales Weekly News
A GRAFFITI artist has been brightening up subways with local youngsters on a police-backed project.
Andy Birch has been decorating the tunnel by Llandudno Junction playing fields. Former Ysgol Bryn Elian student Andy, 36, of Old Colwyn, said: “The theme for the tunnel was sport, activities and music.”
Next month, he’ll move on to one in a subway near the Weekly News office, working with 20 pupils from Ysgol Nant-y-Coed in the Junction.
Headteacher Arwel Roberts said: “The children are looking forward to helping with the artwork. It will give them a sense of belonging to the community.”
The theme for the subway will be local landmarks. North Wales Police’s former community beat manager PC Rob Jones secured £15,000 of WAG funding for lights and artwork in New Road and Conwy Road underpasses.
