Small green space next to the river, it's kinda nice and kinda scruffy at the same time. There was a few people just sat chilling in the sun. Be nice to see more places like this.
A sad little green-space, tucked between a car park and the back of the UTC. This fairly new looking park is now covered in graffiti, cigarette butts and a used hypodermic needle or two.
A nice refuge in a city centre sorely lacking in green space. Litter and graffiti is an issue, but the space already feels more welcoming with a new mural by Jo Peel.
Great little spot to sit and relax for a few.
A great little place to sit and enjoy a little peace in the city. Graffiti and litter can be a bit much but I guess that's to be expected in the city. It's a favourite for a lunch time escape from the office - ideally with a burrito from Street Food Chef!
