A splash of colour is heading to Ramsey!

A planning application has been approved for a mural of Manx wildflowers to be painted on a building in the town's main road - Parliament Street.

David Kilgallon originally applied for permission to have the mural painted - which will cover two sides of the building with leaves and flowers.

The design is by artist Karolina Pawloska - who's described the project as her 'dream job'.

Karolina is behind other murals across the Island - including in Port St Mary and Castletown.
