It's amazing what a face-lift can do!

When Tanya Flint move in with her partner Andy Asquith almost three years ago, her home was part of a melting pot of Victorian terraces with different colour walls and exteriors.

Tanya lives on Alliance Avenue with her four children Olivia, eight, Chloe, six, Rosie-May, two, and 10-month old Phoebe-Marie and says its a joy to live in the street now.

"Before, all the outside walls were different and the street looked very tatty. Now it looks brilliant" she said.

"We've had new fascias, new guttering, a new front wall and path and the outside has been painted. It's lovely to walk down the street now.
