I seem to be reporting what seems to have been an endless stream of graffiti recently, as documented in the Evening Post (story at: http://www.getreading.co.uk/news/s/2048283_baffled_about_latest_taggers). There is a lesson that people who paint walls white seem to be a special target. The best thing about the report is the news at the end that four people have been picked up on Erleigh Road, which I saw at the weekend was being no less badly hit.
One of the areas I've been reporting is the underpass connecting Katesgrove Lane with the centre of town by the Hook & Tackle pub. Despite the landlord being active in reporting local issues and my lobbying the Council for better lighting of this dimly-lit route, the Council had ignored concerns from a number of residents.
Finally, though, something has clicked. Not only has graffiti been removed (again) but I've managed to secure improved lighting for the underpass - to be installed later this year.
Which is why I never hear the words 'it can't be done'......!
