We're thrilled to announce the next exciting chapter of our award-winning Asset Art program — the East Coast Art Trail.
This bold new project will see 17 sewage pump station (SPS) switchboards transformed into stunning public artworks stretching from Orford to St Helens. These vibrant murals will celebrate the East Coast’s rich history, culture, and natural beauty, helping to bring our communities even closer together.
