KIDS in North Glasgow had their faces painted to enjoy a street party.

William Johnston, Robyn Hutchison, Catherine Johnston and Jennifer Duru were among those making the most of a family fun day in Springburn.

Mansel Street has recently seen the construction of 42 new homes and the Glasgow Housing Association organised the day to lay down the foundations of a real community spirt.

Residents, along with those living in North Glasgow Housing Association properties overlooking the new homes, were invited along to Syriam Gardens.

Schoolchildren enjoyed a bouncy castle and there was also a face painting area.

Local dance group the Springburn Sparklers performed cheerleading routines and Springburn Fire Station gave youngsters a look inside a real fire engine.

There was also healthy food, and a community raffle.
