MP for Beverley and Holderness, Graham Stuart, will be officially opening a pedestrian underpass at Long Riston which is being given a fresh new look by youngsters.
The dull and dark walls of the underpass, which allows pedestrians to get safely from one side of the busy A165 to the other, will have a mural painted by school children to brighten it up.
Painting work on the project was due to start at 1pm on Wednesday, June 2 and continue on Thursday. Then on Friday the East Riding of Yorkshire Council will put a coat of sealant on the new artwork.
Graham will attend a special event on Friday June 11 at 2pm where he will be asked to officially open the underpass with its new paint scheme.
Graham said: “This underpass needed to be brightened up and the work being done by these young people should do just that.
“This is a great project which should help bring the community together and I am delighted to be able to perform the opening ceremony on June 11.”
Ashley Phillips Financial Services, of Arnold, is sponsoring the project paying for the paint being used by the youngsters.
The company is also supplying T-shirts with ‘I painted the underpass’ for the young artists to wear at the June 11 ceremony.
