Street planters have been given a new lease of life in the Elderpark community as part of Elderpark Housing’s 50th birthday activities.

The large planters – which have been in place for some years – received a spring refresh with a paint job and were restocked with shrubs and in some cases trees.

Feedback from tenants has continually focused on a desire to keep the neighbourhood looking good and the revitalised planters are one way of doing this.

Chris Gallacher, Elderpark’s Estate Management Co-ordinator, said: “Giving the planters a makeover is the ideal way to begin our community activity as part of our 50th birthday celebrations.”
