BOLLARDS along a Newton Abbot street have been given a make-over to mark Remembrance Day.

Several of Union Street’s ornamental bollards have been painted green and red to resemble poppies, with others having been spray-painted with a stencil outlining a soldier, ahead of November’s memorial day.

Painted by artist Amanda Richards, the make-over of the bollards in Union Street comes ahead of a further planned make-over, where they will be painted bright colours with designs made by local school children.
