Feedback from the Norfolk Constabulary in November 2006

We are introducing street murals of both a cultural and historical nature and have been doing so for the last three years. None of these murals have been affected by graffiti, and were all created in areas where graffiti was prevalent. We have used local artists and young people working together, we have created murals in both residential and commercial locations. The murals have influenced attitudes in the neighbourhoods with residents cleaning up their own back yards in response. We have also established multi agency links and endeavour to remove illegal graffiti within 24 hours of being identified, so denying the scribbler any publicity.
