The artist behind the controversial Oxton Village mural has struck again - this time in New Ferry.

Talented creative, Paul Curtis, has been commissioned to produce a varied artwork that stretches across flats above five high street business premises on New Chester Road.

The eye-catching visuals include an idyllic beach scene above a sun bed shop, a row of women having their hair done above a hairstylists and blue skies above a suicide prevention centre.

Scaffolding is still erected in front of the final two units that form part of the artwork - a delicatessen and a butchers - with rendering work to take place before the mural can be completed.

When asked about the concept behind the new piece, Mr Curtis told the Globe: "The aim is to brighten up the centre and hopefully give some pride and hope to the area and gain some positive news, so that the town can move forward and recover from the explosion.

"As far as I am aware, each mural was commissioned as a consortium of the business owner, the New Ferry Residents Association and Wirral Council."

Mr Curtis already had one mural to his name in New Ferry - a Tranmere Rovers badge painted on the same high street.

The artist was thrusted into the eye of the Wirral public earlier this year when a similar badge painted on a wall in Oxton village led to a row between the local residents' association and Tranmere supporters.

Mr Curtis was also the talent behind the HMS Birkenhead tribute that sits on the side of Gallagher's pub in Birkenhead.
