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,

    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
