An artist is asking people to vote for their favourite design for a mural to be painted in Barking town centre.

Jake Attewell has come up with three suggestions and wants help to decide which celebrates the history of Barking the best.

He said: "I would love it if people would take a look at my designs and decide which they think captures that history most effectively.

"I will paint the option people prefer so every vote will count."

Jake was commissioned by Be First, the council’s regeneration arm, to paint the mural after winning a competition to design artwork for the wall above McDonald's in Short Blue Place.
