the car park...

To help the group of children to understand the project more, they made a site visit to the car park back in July. Here they measured the spaces and found out more about the processes behind putting their designs down.

Before any Artwork is applied to the surfaces the car park has been repaired and cleaned during the summer to give the designs optimun appearance.

This project is a collaboration between Blingin', West Kent Arts Partnership, Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and Emily Tull.
The aim is to show how an everyday space can be turned into an interesting and pleasant environment. Then hopefully incidents of anti-social behaviour will be discouraged.

Artist Emily Tull is helping a group of year six children from St Barnabus Primary School to create artwork designs to brighten up the main stairwells and lift areas in the Cresent Road car park. Aswell as the main designs the children are also creating special signs to help make the public aware of the project once it begins on site.

Cllr Paul Barrington-King, Portfolio Holder of Environment and Street Scene has said:
"Cresent Road Car Park will celebrate it's 40th year next year and it was the first multi-storey car park to be built in Royal Tunbridge wells. The Art project is a fantastic way to not only mark the car park's anniversary but to get local children involved in improving the facility for the good of the whole community."
