We will commission the Lewisham School of Muralism to collaborate with local schools, keen artists and the Friends of Island History Trust to develop and explore themes for the creation of a colourful permanent wall mural. The Mudchute Mural will act as a reference point to showcase how people have adapted to living on the site of a historic dockyard - and area described as the fastest-growing urban settlement in Europe. The project will help foster a sense of civic pride and identity.

What we'll deliver:

• Wall mural adjacent to Mudchute DLR station

Why it's a great idea:

By telling their story, Mudchute Mural will encourage residents to claim a sense of self-determination about the present and future of the island as it continues to undergo rapid development and socio-economic change.

Steps to get it done:

• Work with artist(s) to design mural
• Install wall mural
