A COMMUNITY area damaged by fire last year has been turned into a bit of a jungle.

A mural in a corridor at the lifelong learning unit at the Howbury Centre, Slade Green Road, Slade Green, was destroyed by the blaze.

But thanks to the hard work of 13 families, the corridor walls are now a riot of colour again thanks to a new jungle mural.

The 13 adults and 27 children, aged between four and 14, took part in the community project.

They learned a number of painting techniques along the way.
