A PAINT mishap has created what looks like a Jackson Pollock-inspired pathway in Taunton.

The walkway, near the Tesco store and Longrun Meadow, has been turned white in places as people make their way around, thanks to a spillage near the supermarket.

Bike and footprints have carried the paint along the walkway for around 100 yards in various directions, giving the path a new look.

Somerset County Gazette:

It's not much compared to the rainbow walkway in nearby Goodland Gardens, but one onlooker said they rather liked the effect.

"It actually brightens it up a bit," said the walker, who did not wish to be named.

"I presume someone dropped a tin of paint and it's just been carried along, but it's quite bright really."

The stream running alongside the path was also in the news recently, after becoming something of a 'trolley graveyard', as they were dumped in the waterway.
