Kenny the Superlambanana comes to Venture

Venture Housing has given Kenny the Superlambanana a new home at its offices in Kensington. Kenny was originally financed by City & North Neighbourhood Management Services for the Kensington community and was decorated by local artist Barbara Galt with the help of local children. It is one of the few lambananas, that have been donated by organisers, ’Wild in Art’, to stay in the local community. During the ‘Go Superlambanana’ event Kenny was located at the junction of Hall Lane and Prescot Road near the Royal Hospital.
