COMMUNITY spirited youngsters have helped design seating to brighten up the streets in Tindale Crescent.
A group of children from the community teamed up with artist Jim Roberts to produce three blue metal benches for the village.
Tindale Crescent Residents' Association set the project under way, calling in Groundwork West Durham to help the group secure £4,000 of funding through County Durham Foundation's Community Chest.
Mr Roberts held design workshops in Tindale Crescent Club and Durham County Council installed the benches outside the Post Office, at the crossroads outside the Aucklandgate Centre and opposite Brantwood Terrace.
Councillor Charlie Kay unveiled the last seat on Saturday.
He said: "This has improved the quality of life for Tindale Crescent residents.
"The children, in particular, have done a wonderful job and they should be proud of what they have achieved."
