An underpass is Peterborough is to be transformed by a new mural.

The transformation is set to take place at an underpass in Werrington which links Hemsdale Gardens and Carron Drive to Dukesmead and Benedict Square.

Initial work has been done to sketch out the outlines of the work, which will feature the words ‘Dukesmead’ and ‘Werrington’ as well as a number of local images.

Local wildlife will be represented by a mallard, heron, fox and rabbit while the opposite side features a depiction of a bus and a steam train.

The work is being carried out by well-known street artist Nathan Murdoch.

Sally Weald from Werrington Neighbourhood Council said: “Werrington Neighbourhood Council are delighted to have commissioned Nathan Murdoch to rejuvenate the Dukesmead underpass with a new mural.

“The Neighbourhood Council is funding this from the Community Infrastructure Levy from proceeds raised from recent local developments to fund Werrington projects. The initial project was instigated by Cllr Sarah Hillier who collated ideas from residents.”
