Meet the ladies hoping to attract others to Stapleford with a 'knit and natter'

The organiser of a Stapleford Yarn Bombing class has spoken out about they hope their designs are bringing the community together and attracting more people to the area.

Yarn bombing is a type of street art that is colourful and vibrant with designs made from knitted or crocheted wool.

Labour councillor Sue Paterson (Stapleford South West Ward), Teresa Needham (Stapleford town councillor) and Heather Bessant (a member of the Helpful Bureau in Stapleford) are the main organisers of the Yarn Bombing classes, which count members aged from eight to 80 among their ranks.
