ive been busy...
rang my local mp and cabinet member to insist some cctv cameras are put up in these areas. the council have only 2 legal places to do graffiti art, my son and his mates were mugged and assaulted in both places. I want action also for decisions about building or allowing more of these places. the council shell out loads of money to get rid of graffiti in the city, surley it would make sense to make more of these legal art places.
ive also been to see my sons headteacher, whom wasnt much help (even though 2 of the lads from the last attacking attend my sons school) but at least he can warn the pupils to stay away from these areas.
ive also written to chief inspector down at west bar police station, explaining of my concern and distress at whats happened and have asked for "mobos" (mobile cameras that the police can put up) to be errected untill the council get their finger out and get some permenent ones.
Ive have asked richard for help in contacting Banksy, as im sure he could support this in some way.
will update you when i know more.
the good news is that after the first mugging , 2 people have been arrested and have been positivley ID'd..they denied it so we will be going to court.
Im seriously thinking of moving to france with my folks..
