An alleyway in Penarth has been brightened up by new murals as part of a community project.
Feedback was gathered from residents about the alleyways linking the St Paul's Avenue flats with Hazel Road and Lavernock Road.
They raised concerns about the overall appearance of the area, including litter issues, as well as safety at night.
Vale of Glamorgan Council says it responded by leading a community litter pick with the help of officers from Penarth Fire Station alongside an art transformation project.

Two local graffiti artists Kyle and Ceri from Hurts So Good worked alongside year 8 students from Stanwell School to create a new work featuring designs inspired by Cosmeston Lakes, the local coastline and wildlife.
The final artwork to be completed was a mural reading ‘Keep Your Lane Clean’ and serves as a lasting reminder of the work undertaken in the alleyway.
Cllr Mark Wilson, cabinet member for neighbourhood, said: “The clean-up and artwork project around St Paul’s Avenue has been like a breath of fresh air for the area."
“Through our ongoing placemaking work in Penarth, we engaged with residents, listened to their concerns and worked to bring the community together so that everyone can feel safer, take pride in their local area, and make Penarth a great place to live.”
