To: Liverpool City Council
Graffiti
Take action on the areas I have already highlighted and made known to Liverpool Council this year but almost nothing has been done. This is regarding the extensive amount of Graffiti in the North Dock area and other areas nearer to the City centre. We have a lot of tourists coming to the city which is great but parts of the City centre and the surrounding dock areas are being blighted by Graffiti....this needs a whole lot of more effort to eradicate and keep on top of any repeat graffiti.
Why is this important?
There is a difference between Wall Art and Graffiti. Wall art can be appealing, carry a message, be artistic, thought provoking and belonging to the community...Graffiti is random, mostly personal to the Tag holder and basically ugly, pointless and represents the view of someone with a chip on their shoulder...It defaces other peoples property. With the vast number of visitors now coming to a great City which has pulled itself up from the depths of despair it is important to give these visitors a great and lasting impression of the city and it's structures, its buildings its character. You can't see this if it's covered in random pointless garbage.
