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

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.

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.

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!

Without getting into the age old vandalism/graffiti debate, that's quite a stretch, the causality element is unclear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory

Threat too...totally unnecessary in a rare green space- are the council going to send out the graffiti clean up crew?

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 clearly

did although recognised they were "obviously" not meaning that. Would there be any kind of grafitti acceptable where this was done,

    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
