Highways workers have painted special 'thank you NHS' road markings outside Tameside Hospital which they hope will 'bring a smile' to heroic health staff.
The council's highways team have put the new markings - including rainbows - on Fountain Street and Mellor Road in Ashton where Tameside Hospital staff enter the grounds.
The message of support was created as part of work to build a temporary 10-bed ward to meet increasing demand during the coronavirus pandemic.
The prefabricated unit is located opposite Werneth House and close to the emergency department, as a 'precautionary measure'.
