Tenants living in one of East Devon District Council’s block of flats in Cheshire Road, Exmouth will now be greeted by a colourful mural, which has been mounted on the wall of the communal entrance.
The artwork, which was created by several families who attended the East Devon Estate Management team’s Spring fun day, held earlier this year at Bassetts Farm Primary School, has been placed between protective sheets of fire retardant Perspex.
Councillor Jill Elson, East Devon District Council’s Portfolio holder for Sustainable Homes and Communities, said:

As the UK summer holiday season looms, bringing the usual influx of tourists lazing on Exmouth’s beaches, work is intensifying to encourage more visitors to come to the town all year round.

And that, says the new man heading up Exmouth Regeneration Programme Board, means ditching the mind-set that shuns new ideas and clings to...
