Friday funday: more spray paint

The lighter side of local government

Last week I blogged on consultations about graffiti, policy discussions about what to do with those who engage in criminal damage by tagging, and a new website in Lewisham where residents can report graffiti.

And it's no surprise that sometimes citizens engage with local government through graffiti, but have you ever seen a council replying with spray paint?

Well, now you can.

It just goes to show:
1. there are many creative ways to engage with citizens (some of them more appropriate than others).
2. folks the world over aren't sure which government body is responsible for which service.

And to top it all, this little example of public consultation and community engagement occurred in my own home town. (Please do note the colour of the spray paint - the colours of the much-loved local University football team. Go Vols!)
