One person can make a big difference in any community. Look at what Jane Tinsley did in Cornwall
Mum-of-three Jane launched her TV-style makeover in a bid to stop vandals attacking the dilapidated building near her home.
Now the bus stop in Fowey, Cornwall, provides a distinctly African feel for people waiting to use public transport and take shelter from the rain.
Jane said: "It was scruffy and horrible and the seat was broken and it is one of the first things people see when they arrive here.
"All the bits of furniture and paintings have been donated by lots of different people who all wanted to see the bus stop improved.
"We had plastic chairs at first but now they have been replaced by better quality wooden ones that people no longer needed in their homes."
Fed up with vandals, she made over her bus stop
