Residents have been brought together in pairs - one younger person and one older person - as part of a special intergenerational community arts project called Telling Tales.

Together the groups have been recording audio messages and designing posters, which have been exhibited on special listening posts and bus shelters within the community.

The themes of each display are wide ranging - from kickboxing to dance - in accordance with the interests of their designers.
