The Poles are very keen on graffiti. On a recent holiday there the EU had funded a long dual carriageway that ran alongside the train tracks we were on, and alongside the dual carriageway a concrete type wall had been built. Although a new wall which went on for miles and miles and miles the Poles had already attempted to complete their target of covering the whole thing with graffiti. How the planners didn't expect this to happen is a mystery really given that every available space of spare wall is spray painted to death. It's also spreading here as I regularly see Poles and other Eastern Europeans hanging round under the Stone Road bridge drinking..........and tagging!

I'm assuming this is the same 'bad' graffiti I've seen tagged elsewhere in the area - the Queensville bridge comes to mind.

Is that ever going to be removed?

I have noticed in the past that Street Scene seem to be much more efficient in removing graffiti that has some artistic merit than the tedious random tagging that blights the landscape. There was a series of fairly good paste ups that appeared a few years back that disappeared in a matter of days. I raised it with (gifted artist & street scene employee) Mohawk Pete in casual conversation & he suggested it was probably just that things good enough to be memorable get reported to them.

So if you don't want to see them scrub away a Banksy you need to try and dissuade other concerned citizens from emailing in.

If you are keen to see anything go then you can tell SBC about it here.

SBC rarely remove graffiti. I have reported it on Queensville, public toilets at wilkos, on paving in front the old mill turbines near the mill bank Victoria Park entrance. It took 9 months and 3 phone calls and having to speak the local councillor to get them to remove graffiti all over the mottram stand and bridgein the park SBC do state they only remove from their own building or if deemed offensive.
yet every other councils in the county remove regardless charge owners of building. Don't expect SBC to do anything.

I have no issue with street art in properly designated places. However, most of the graffiti and street art in, and around, Stafford is crap. It usually comprises of a crap 'tag' or some moron telling everyone 'ere woz ere' and providing their post code.

Mindless idiots writing rubbish. It is unsightly and unnecessary. If the morons are ever caught they should be made to clean up the crap that they have written.

Odd though as when there was graffiti on a railway in stone, same as Queens ville there was public outcry.

police got involved 2 teens arrested and families fined by SBC. They pocketed the fine but never cleaned the graffiti that was left to local people to sort out and pay for. Report it to non emergency police they will look into it through pcso and culprits may get caught like in stone. SBC tend to forget this is a crime and falls under the anti social behaviour act.

come on streetscene nice flowers bur keep the place clean and inviting eh....
