Removed 7/11/12: Outside Canton Community Centre, Leckwith Rd, Cardiff.

Requested removal 6/12/11

 

 

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.

 

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!

 

 

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.

 

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!

 

The Canton Green Party suggests running relevant mentor led projects within our schools and communities.

Organizations like: "Peaceful Progress" a Cardiff based Graffiti Arts Group

web site- www.peacefulprogress.co.uk

 

Or CRUELVAPOURS

Who are a professional aerosol art company based in Cardiff.

Teaching in schools and youth centres across south wales as well as producing high quality murals for private and commercial clients.

 

They are currently on the outlook for public problem walls, especially graffiti vandalism or fly-postering.

 

So far they have tackled a few problem areas in Roath where fly posters and graffiti was a problem, since they have created their artwork on the walls, all vandalism has stopped.

 

Their service is free of charge as long as the wall is situated in a high visibility area and that their artists have artistic license over the content of the mural.

 

Please check out their work via their photo stream on flickr or visit their websites:

Organizations such as this and others, could, would and do instill

 

"A right time, right place ethos".

 

Please Send photos of "Syx 10" or "Syks" from around Cardiff.

Please email any information and photos to nige@nigelpugh.co.uk (jpegs med size)

 

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.

 

NB: The Canton Green Party in no way advocates "tagging or graffiti" without the permission of public or private property owners.
