FAMILY homes in Poulton, Morecambe, have a smart new look as residents got together to paint porches and plant bulbs for summer colour.
Tenants at Whinsfell View and Whitmore Close rolled up their sleeves alongside representatives from their landlord Great Places Housing Group, property repair contractor Connaught and the Probation Service.
Great Places took ownership and management of the two cul-de-sacs of 64 homes last year and have been working to turn nearby land into a community leisure area.
During the action day they also took part in fun teamwork exercises and a litter-pick.
Community initiatives manager for Great Places, Daniel Mountford, said: “We thought the area could do with a spring clean and a tidy-up so we all got involved and made a real difference.
“Wooden porches got a new lick of paint and gardens were planted up with a total of 1,000 bulbs that will ensure the streets look blooming marvellous this summer.”
