Catherine O’Donnell from Off the Street Community Youth Initiative said: “Cornshells is a large housing estate with absolutely no provisions – it has a shop and above that is a little community hall. There are no youth provisions – it’s out on its own. This is a reimaging and promotion of Cornshells. We want to make it a tourist attraction.”
