A SPLASH of spring colour is being provided for residents of North Ormesby to help beat the winter blues.
Schoolchildren and volunteers planted bulbs around rose bushes at the newly improved green space, in Jefferson Street.
Inga Mahoney, who is involved in the scheme, said: "It's a great improvement on what was here before, but it has been a long and difficult process. Now it is done, we will have to make sure it is well looked after and not vandalised."
Money for the project was provided by Barclays SiteSavers, Middlesbrough Partnership, Neighbourhood Support Fund and the European Regional Development Fund.
