Mural brightens Old Laira Road

29 October 2026

A colourful mural featuring cartoon characters has been painted on a wall in Old Laira Road by Guime, from Plymouth Artists

Cllr Pauline Murphy welcomed the artwork, writing: “Lovely news for the residents of Old Laira Road. An amazing mural has been painted on an unloved wall on the street. Massive thank you to Guime from Plymouth Artists Together!”

Cllr Chris Sharp, Reform deputy leader, said: “Projects like this help brighten up our neighbourhood, make our streets more welcoming and give our community something to be proud of.”

What do you think of the mural? Does it brighten up the street, or do you feel it makes the area look worse? Should residents be consulted before artwork like this is painted?
