Twenty-four children from Lenton Primary School have been involved in designing public art which is now erected at the site next to Grove Road underpass. The art works are interpretations of key landmarks in Lenton such as the school, the railway bridge and the park.

Earlier this year Groundwork Greater Nottingham worked with children from Lenton Primary School to design these panels from the drawings that the children produced and four were replicated in steel. The panels are now located on either side of the Bridge, providing a long lasting link to Lenton Primary School that is due to close at the end of this term.

This 'art work' was part of the Eyesores project funded by Neighbourhood Renewal Fund. Groundwork Greater Nottingham and Nottingham City Council have worked together in looking at how the area could be enhanced.

Cllr David Trimble, Nottingham City Council’s Portfolio Holder for Culture, Leisure and Communities and local ward councillor said: “This installation will improve the appearance of the area for cyclists and pedestrians who use this walkway and who will appreciate the artistic skills of children from Lenton Primary School for many years to come”.

On Monday 14th July 2008 at 2.30pm, the children from Lenton Primary School will be visiting Grove Road underpass to see their works of art and would like to extend a warm invitation to everyone in the local area to come along.
