Ridge Lane Bridge has been given a new lease of life through a design carried out by young people from Lancaster Central High School (LCHS) and the Ridge Community Centre. The underside of the bridge now sports a large public art mural which has transformed the local environment. The project, which was funded by Lancaster Central High School, has been brought together through a team effort involving the Ridge Community Centre, LCHS and Bulk Green Party, as well as British Water Board, County Highways and the City Council.
Fifteen young people were engaged in workshops with an experienced graffiti artist to create the design for the mural. Councillor Maia Whitelegg who was heavily involved in the project said: “This is a fantastic piece of work which has transformed the local area and is a real example of community cohesion”. The mural has been coated with an anti-graffiti glaze in order to protect the artwork from damage.
