One
hundred and fifty people, including volunteers from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Gloucestershire
CSV Action Desk, the City Council, Barclays and a range of other
groups got together to make the entry to the city a more welcoming
sight.
The
gang spruced up the gateway to Gloucester - the area between the
city's train station and the main shopping precinct - which involved
more than 100 volunteers who cleaned, planted, painted and tidied
the area.
A team
of local young people also painted murals depicting the
cultural diversity in the city (below).

January 27.
