I agree Ducks. It's just giving out the message that graffiti is acceptable and the yobs will just go elsewhere to find their blank canvasses.
It's about time that some people in authority stopped regarding graffiti as "art" and realised that the defacing of other peoples property is vandalism and criminal damage.
Most experts agree that the only way to deal with graffiti is to keep removing it until the so called "artists" eventually get fed up. However, as FGW no doubt know, this remedy can be expensive in the short term so they have gone for the cheaper option.
