Eco message brightens up underpass

A group of young ‘eco warriors’ have visually demonstrated their passion for the environment by being the latest primary school to take part in Cramlington Town Council’s ‘Project Underpass’ initiative.

Pupils from Hareside Primary School designed the graphics for the underpass that runs under Lancastrian Road with the help of local artist John Craggs who transferred their designs into the eye-catching and colourful graphics that are now on the triangular concrete blocks inside the tunnel.

Cramlington Town Council’s Community and Youth Coordinator Joe Eltringham said: “This is the fourth underpass in the town that we have transformed with the involvement of local school children. The pupils at Hareside wanted to convey their passion for recycling and the environment and walking through the underpass is now a bright and cheery experience.”
