Graffiti wall set up

11:54pm Thursday 10th January 2008

Police are hoping a new graffiti wall in a park will reduce the amount of damage in a nearby town centre.

Youths are now being given the chance to use the walls located in the skate area of Wellhome Park, in Brighouse.

The new graffiti wall has been provided by Calderdale Council following a series of problems with graffiti in Brighouse town centre and complaints from traders.

Recent graffiti tags to have appeared in the subway and at the Wellington arcade include CSG, short for Can't stop graffiti,' and UDT, short for Urban dream team.' Police are continuing their enquires into the damage and would like anyone with information to approach the neighbourhood policing team or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
