Pictures: Have a look at some of the amazing street art that’s giving Causeway Coast and Glens the ‘wow’ factor...

Spectacular new street art is taking shape across Causeway Coast and Glens as part of a wider scheme to increase the vibrancy of our local town centres.

Some of the UK and Ireland’s leading street artists have started work on the colourful creations in Ballycastle, Ballymoney, Coleraine, Limavady, Portrush and Portstewart, celebrating our shared culture and rich history on gable walls, alleyways and doors.

Welcoming the collection of stunning street art murals, the Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Richard Holmes, highlighted the importance of boosting the Northern Ireland economy by improving how local town centres look and therefore increasing footfall and boosting business revenue.
