H.E. start removing ‘nightmare’ of‘unsightly graffiti’ in Bog and Creggan

Sinn Féin’s Karen Mullan said the Housing Executive has already removed graffiti from a walkway at the juncture of Lecky Road, Durrow Park and Dove Gardens. Other areas have also benefited.

“Over recent months I have been lobbying the H.E. to try and come up with a solution around the removal of unsightly graffiti on the gable walls of people’s homes and communal walkways. It’s a nightmare for residents who have invested a lot of money in keeping their homes and gardens in good condition only to wake up in the morning to find someone has painted or sprayed canned graffiti all over the side of their home.

“The H.E. is working very hard with the External Cycle Maintenance scheme (ECM) to improve the facades of homes across the Moor district and I commend them for this. But this graffiti is just a blot over all that good work. It makes homes and entire streets look shabby and unkept when the opposite is the case,” she said.
