Christina Smuilys has transformed an alleyway, which was full of litter and weeds, behind her terraced home on St Michael's Road, near Moor Park, Preston, to a nice area where she likes to sit. She would like other people to do the same and maybe create a community to enjoy the nice weather together. Christina also regularly litter picks on her street.

Is this Preston’s best kept alleyway?
