This is Bristol

Young people in Knowle West have created their own 3D model map of the area where they live.

They used paper and craft materials to make the map which measures about six feet square.

It depicts the homes where they live, local landmarks, roads and open spaces.

It also shows "hotspots" – areas which are not safe because of crime or road accidents – and "greenspots" – areas which are considered safe.

The 3D model map was made at the Knowle West Media Centre and sponsored by the Bristol Architecture Centre.

Youth worker Sandra Manson said: "They thought it was fantastic, especially making their own houses and showing where they hang out in the evenings and weekends."
