A BUS shelter revamped thanks to student artwork has been unveiled.

Witney Town Council has been working with Abingdon and Witney College on a project devised to keep bus shelters throughout the town maintained.

It encourages businesses in the area to sponsor a stop, with the invested cash used for upkeep.

Once a sponsor is found, art students from the college create a unique design around the theme of Witney’s heritage, which appears on the shelter alongside the sponsor’s logo.

On Thursday, a shelter in Newland had artwork produced by students at the college, who were given the theme of Witney heritage, installed.

It was sponsored by Krayma Technical Solutions, an IT support company.

Mike Dove, of Krayma, said: “As an established local business, we are very supportive of many local community initiatives, events and projects.

“To get involved with this project as a sponsor from the outset is a privilege for us.

“Witney is a beautiful town and one we’re all proud to live in, but the bus stops around town were looking a little tired. For [councillor] Duncan Enright to come up with this fantastic concept, rather than just give them a lick of paint is a superb idea.”
