Schoolchildren have unveiled their artwork at a new housing development in Watford.

The community art project in Ascot Road was a partnership between Ascot Road Primary School and developer Cortland Cassiobury.

The art has been attached to the hoardings of the major development in the west of the town and was officially displayed on November 30.

Chairman of Watford Borough Council, Amanda Grimston, was on hand to pull back the curtain on the art.
