Work begins to turn Bearpit's toilet roofs into wildflower meadows

Work has begun to turn the roofs of the toilets at the Bearpit into wildflower meadows.

The news come after concerns were raised at the end of last year that the Bearpit had been left to "rack and ruin" in spite a pledge to turn it into a "haven for butterflies and bees".
