Auchinstarry Canal & Basin Regeneration Project

Major improvements have been made at the boat moorings at Auchinstarry by the Waterways trust Scotland. The Coach House Trust was commissioned to produce 8 carved wood picnic tables and benches and 8 litter bins. Julia worked with Lee Bohana at the Coach House on the litter bins after a period of research into ways to recycle discarded glass bottles. The litter bins are made from 50% cement and sand and 50% recycled glass. Ceramic tiles were made by pupils at St. Bartholomew's Primary School in Coatbridge and were inlaid into the bins.
