Art students' underpass mural unveiled
A mural designed by art students, which has brightened up a central Watford underpass, was officially opened this week.
The art work on the Clarendon Road subway, which has been gradually appearing over the last few months, is the work of West Herts College students and is called the Culture of Watford.
Elected mayor Dorothy Thornhill was on hand for its official opening this week.
West Herts College course leader Debbie Crooks said: "The ‘Culture of Watford’ project was a great collaboration with Highways Agency and Watford Borough Council. It was a satisfying project and the students can feel they have made a contribution to their community."

I'd prefer to fill them all in and make more road crossings.

You thought the art would reflect on Watford, past & present.. Has Watford got a Culture?
But it shows in the 1st photo of some one who wants to ruining Watford's future...
You only have to look at a bit of concrete and tarmac and you can see exactly what future the LibDems have in mind for Watford and the culture that comes with it.

The main wall in the picture looks awful.
