ARTY residents of Brackenhall have welcomed the final stage in a big project.

The Bracken Grove sculpture trail was finally opened after weeks of hard work by local people.

Local resident Andy Kitching (pictured) was joined by local children to cut a ribbon for the sculpture trail, which runs down to the entrance of Ashbrow Infants School.

The sculptures were designed by children and disabled people, working with artists from the LOCA arts project. Other works have already been erected in Hopkinson Road and Bradley Boulevard.
