Got any street issues visit www.fixmystreet.com
Or report to your local council -Cardiff Council Tel:02920872087
Always ask for and retain a 'Reference Number'. Your issue could be resolved!
Even though this is not the ward that I am standing in, I am well aware of how much the wards of Canton and Riverside interconnect. Hence this simple action.
Date:12/10/11.
First I phoned Canton Community Centre.
Natalie Bunce tel- 02920872087, to see if they would like me to phone the council on their behalf about the removal of the graffiti outside the Community Centre. As it sends out the wrong message to all the youths that use it. Natalie had said, that she had not particularly noticed it.
Although recently a member of the public had reported it.
Because it had been there for approximately 2 years people simply didn't notice it any more.
After drawing her attention to it, her response was yes please, and that they would appreciate it.
I then called Cardiff County Council Tel: 02920872087. It was then reported to the Graffiti Officer and I was assured it would be removed in 5 working days. Call Ref: pug 588 764360.
I then reported my progress back to Natalie and gave her the Council telephone number so that she could re-enforce the request.
So roughly after approximately 2 years of being there it should be gone by the 20/10/11.

A campaign to remove visual litter (graffiti and tags) from our streets.

The trouble with tagging and graffiti is it's like over-littered areas and readily gets added to.
"It's there already, so it doesn't matter if I do it!"
We've become so used to seeing it that we stop acknowledging it's presence and start perceiving it as normal and acceptable.
Visual litter will remain as a recurrent and accumulative issue on our streets if it's not removed as quickly as possible by councils, private businesses or the willing community.
It will remain a cyclic issue, perpetuating the degradation of the quality of our community's environment.
Councilors often like to gain political favor by the removal of graffiti, time and time again, without ever addressing the preventative measures of education.
Quote: "The council’s policy is to remove racist and offensive graffiti within
24 hours of it being reported".

This will remain a cyclic issue, perpetuating the degradation of the quality of our community's environment if these preventative measures are not put in place!

I will collate them and present them to the Cardiff City Council with the view to the removal of, and the stemming of the continual visual littering of our communities.
Mentor systems will always have longer term solutions. And lets stem this recurrent issue, of which Councilors love to gain favor with.
