STUDENTS are aiming to clean up an eyesore.

Work starts on Sunday to spruce up a pedestrian subway in Northallerton.

Youngsters from North-allerton College are bringing a splash of colour to the subway, which links the County Library with the town's High Street.

The route has long been a target for vandals.

Now, the students are to cover the subway with a mural in pen-resistant epoxy resin acrylic, in an attempt to prevent it from being ruined by vandalism in the future.
