GREEN-FINGERED youngsters created a colourful display of plants for shoppers and the community to enjoy.

The children put together the display, outside the shops in Deepdale, Wildridings, on Wednesday, August 26.

With help from their parents and PCSOs from the neighbourhood policing team, they planted dozens of bulbs, shrubs and bedding plants in raised beds.

PCSO Joanna Hughes said: "The plants have been donated by Homebase Bracknell. We are very grateful for their generosity, especially to Roy Lean and Kevin Stangroom, who have been a great help."

Insp Michael Squire, neighbourhood inspector for Bracknell South, said: "The project is one of several in our For the Future campaign, in which individuals or groups 'adopt' a local area that they improve and maintain. The aim of these projects is to bring a sense of ownership and pride to the area, promote community cohesion and reduce vandalism.

"Our intention is that the Wildridings flower beds will be maintained by local children aged five to 12, supervised by a rota of parents with frequent visits by neighbourhood PCSOs.

"We are also hoping that other areas near the Wildridings shops, such as the covered alleyway, will be painted, personalised and maintained by older children from the area.

"We are aiming to bring all sectors of the community together."
