\n In Swindon, a brick bus shelter in Haydon Wick has been transformed into a colourful space showcasing artwork from local schools, thanks to a project backed by Haydon Wick Council.\n<\/p>\n
\n The idea, proposed by Councillor Vinay Manro and seconded by Swindon Borough Councillor Leanne Stevenson, aims to revamp shelters that have been repeatedly targeted by graffiti and vandalism.\n<\/p>\n
\n Councillor Stevenson said: “Haydon Wick Council backed the idea unanimously.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Now the first shelter is finished, and it is great to see the difference.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We wanted to do something positive with these spaces.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Add some colour, showcase artwork from our local schools and make the shelters feel more connected to the community around them.”\n<\/p>\n
\n She expressed thanks to everyone involved.\n<\/p>\n
\n Cllr Stevenson said: “A huge thank you to the schools who contributed, and to everyone who helped turn the idea into reality.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This is only the start.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We will use this model to look at what more we can do with bus shelters across Priory Vale and Haydon Wick.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Swindon, a brick bus shelter in Haydon Wick has been transformed into a colourful space showcasing artwork…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":769022,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-769021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=769021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/769022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=769021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=769021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=769021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
