A GROUP of about 20 young people have spent the week taking part in a graffiti art project.

The young people have been learning the art form and how to use it responsibly all week from a team of artists at the project run by Three Rivers District Council.

The group has designed and created 'graffiti board' pieces of art which will now go on display in the district for the remainder of the summer holidays.

The project is also running at Croxley Green Skate Park next week.

Councillor Chris Whately-Smith, Leisure and Community Portfolio Holder, said: "We have been really pleased with the success of this fantastic project, which has enabled local young people not only to express themselves and learn a new skill, but also to contribute to the local community by creating lasting pieces of art."
