A subcontractor will remove graffiti later this week from a mail box in Radnor Road after Canton Green Party sent a request to Royal Mail, but this is only a small part of their campaign.
“The point is I’m clearing it up in poignant places that are setting up a bad precedence, such as around schools,” said Nigel Pugh, council candidate for the Canton Green Party.
“If you remove the pieces, graffiti arts groups like Peaceful Progress or Cruel Vapours can do murals in high-graffiti areas.
“To stop it being a cyclic issue, these groups can visit schools to do community based projects, to instil that there’s a right time and place to do it, but it’s all about procuring permission. It’s a preventative measure.”
