A VILLAGE bus shelter has a new lick of paint, thanks to two local councillors.

Tony Pelton and Pat Brennan, who represent Catterick with Tunstall ward on Richmondshire District Council, volunteered to kick-start work to improve the look of Catterick Village's high street for the Queen's golden jubilee celebrations in the summer.

They gave the shelter - on the Little Green - a coat of paint, supplied by the district council, to remove graffiti and gave it a general tidy-up.

"I said some time ago that if someone provided the paint, I would be willing to paint the shelter myself," said Coun Pelton. "Pat Brennan was also willing, and we will be working with others on other projects being finalised."
