Fairmead art competition

We are asking local residents to come up with artwork for the outhouses on Dieppe Way in the Fairmead Estate.

To make it a more vibrant, fun and inviting place to live, we want the local community to submit their artwork, with winning ideas being used to enhance the buildings. 

The competition is currently open and will close on Sunday 20 July at 11.59pm.

A panel of judges will select a collection of entries that will be converted into a larger mural, which will cover the backs of the outhouses.
