✨Between Stops: Littlemoor exhibition UPDATE✨

We have had over 20 artworks removed from the Littlemoor Bus Stops. 😢

We do know who has potentially been involved, and we are still open to having a confidential and non-judgmental conversation about why they were removed 🙂 🙏

We have made the decision to limit the last few prints to:

1. TopCat stop(Topclub

2. Shopping Centre stop (Home Bargains)

And Littlemoor Hub

We would kindly ask that they try and remain up until the end of the summer holidays.

Please do complete our feedback survey located at the Shopping centre 🙏
