Graffiti: Now You See It...Now You (Almost) Don't

 Following the Bus Users' Group's request to Lancaster City Council to take action on the plague of graffiti adorning the wall next to the bus station entrance, the council was as good as its word and fulfilled its promises of "early action"

The cleansing team has been to the bus station and had a go at removing the graffiti, albeit without complete success.

Here (doctored to disguise the worst obscenities) is how the wall looked at the weekend. . .



. . .and here it is after the Council's efforts:


The graffiti is still visible, although not as "in yer face" as it was. The wall is constructed of sandstone and some of the conventional methods of graffiti removal risk damaging the surface. The council will therefore employ a more specialised method of removal as soon as possible.
