Murals painted to connect communities in St Pauls

Three community hubs are being linked with a 'green route' to bring people together and promote healthy living.

The Green Way will connect St Pauls Learning Centre, the Adventure Playground and Halston Drive Community Room in Bristol.

Vibrant murals that celebrate world foods are being painted at two of the hubs, and new benches, trees and signs will line the route.

It is hoped the project will add to the redevelopment of the area.

The project is a result of two years collaboration between Bristol-based charity The Architecture Centre, St Pauls Learning Centre, St Pauls Adventure Playground, and the local community.

Georgina Bolton, from the Architecture Centre, said: "The Green Way is all about celebrating and connecting the communities of St Pauls...encouraging a healthier, less polluted route through the area."

Tara Miran, one of the winners of the recipe competition, said having her Dolma recipe "for all the community to see and share" was like "an act of love and acknowledgement for my Kurdish roots".

"It is a celebration of the love for food amongst the different communities of St Pauls," she added.
