Walls in the city centre’s subways are covered in coloured spray while the perpetrators remain unidentified.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cardiff Council has been tidying up the look of the city to welcome the Cardiff Half Marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra staff have been brought in to remove graffiti, especially in subways in the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drawings on the wall are mostly simple doodles, writings or “tags” which are the graffiti writers’ signatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the things graffiti removers aim get rid of as soon as possible, but the process can be pricey and lengthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the wall is white, the workers have to repaint it three times to fully cover the graffiti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five litres of the paint costs about \u00a320, and a pair of workers can go through about 15 litres in just an hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not everything on the walls has to be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
