Residents of Harpenden street Piggottshill Lane have teamed together to brighten up their road in the run up to Easter with a fun, family initiative.
The locals have decorated their windows with Easter eggs. Some of the eggs have letters, so the aim is to find all the eggs and work out the hidden message. They will be on display from 4.30pm on Saturday 20th March to Monday 5th April.
