Free paint is on offer on Thursday 27 July to Nottinghamshire residents who are thinking about a spot of home or garden re-decorating thanks to the Community RePaint Nottinghamshire scheme.
Residents of Nottinghamshire who are looking for free paint can go and collect the paint on Thursday 27th July from 4 pm – 6.30pm at Newark Recycling Centre, Brunel Drive, Newark, NG24 2EG. Pre booking is required, so please book a time slot by calling Nottinghamshire County Council on 0300 500 80 80.
“Type and colours of paint cannot be guaranteed but there’s usually a range of emulsion, gloss and eggshell to choose from and often some fence and masonry paint too. As usual when visiting a Recycling Centre please wear sturdy, closed toe footwear and it’s a good idea to bring bags or boxes to protect your vehicle when transporting the paint home.”
Other ideas for land art include:
- Mowing a giant shape/image into a hill or field
- Painting old, unwanted bikes yellow and putting them out on display which worked so well as part of the Tour de Yorkshire race
- Creating giant posters or banners on buildings along the route
- Colourful flower displays in the shape of a bicycle in gardens
- Getting inspiration from Tour de France land art.
