joustant Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 What a way to ruin such a beautiful park area that we are blessed to have! There is bright blue sprayed graffiti across an entire bench and across the width of the path in front of the bench. It?s right in the mksss of the park. I?ll try to take a photo. Off to call council now.It was definitely dry so no buggy?s, scooters, feet or dogs were at risk. Hope it can all be cleaned :(EDIT- added photo Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/238307-blue-graffiti-across-the-middle-of-goose-green-park/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
se22cat Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Saw that this afternoon, utterly pointless and disgusting to see. Goose Green is enjoyed by everyone and it's sad to see this happen and that it will use up money that could have gone elsewhere to clean up. A signpost protesting the surface coating of dog turds on the grass I can understand, and support, but this is just mindless vandalism.

Humdinger Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 If it is dry, what is the problem? You can still sit on the bench right?You might think it is unsightly, others may not. One mans rubbish is another mans treasure, after all.

Angelina Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 The polystyrene is just as bad as it's a direct environmental hazard.Graffiti has a different effect, by making an area feel unsafe for people. It can actually indicate a loss of control in an area, literally making it more unsafe. And it spreads.Whether you think it's unsightly or not, it's not relevant. It attracts other behaviours.

mikeb Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Humdinger: that's the worst sort of subjective nihilism. Of course it's an eyesore - objectively. If you really want to add your mark to the environment then find some wasteland somewhere.

joustant Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 And the profanity? when the actual graffiti/art reads ?snitches get bitches? - you wouldn?t like it on your home, we don?t want it in our general area of greenery or there for our kids to read. Find some canvas. And the ?earl e byrd? on the bench, sheer genius...not!

first mate Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 But if it says "snitches get stitches" that might be read as an incitement to violence and not the sort of message you want in any public space.

TE44 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The saying is a reflection of violent language evolving. I have heard it used in children with there brothers, when I asked if they understood what it meant they clearlydid although recognised they were "obviously" not meaning that. Would there be any kind of grafitti acceptable where this was done, Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/238307-blue-graffiti-across-the-middle-of-goose-green-park/#findComment-1373045 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE44 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Has there been any reply from council OP? Has there been any previous problems with grafitti in this area or is this a one off.
