When bathroom suites are replaced in the house, the tubs can often end up in a landfill site.

A charity in Peterborough saves unwanted bathtubs by turning them into flower beds for schools and social projects.

The team at 'Up The Garden Bath' have now won a national award for their work.

They were recognised in the 'Social Farms and Gardens' charity's 40th-anniversary awards.

'Up the Garden Bath' won in the 'Best Response to Climate Change' category.

One of the charity's recent projects in Peterborough has even been funded by the local police and crime commission to help discourage antisocial fly-tipping.
