My HamiltON project with sweet angel

Hi, Sweet Angel and I are doing our project on Garffiti in The ON of Hamilt. This is my own little postery thing.



Graffiti

I you don't mind me saying so, Hamilton has a LOT of graffiti. There is Garffiti under one of the bridges I have seen in Hamilton. So much, in fact, I can't seem to see much metal when I go back to that photo.
There is a lot on the fences of the properties in front of the gate of the Bike shed. Wow! It's pretty greusome.
And, of course, there is odd bits of graffiti here and there, a lot of it's in parks.




But Hamilton City Council (HCC) are fighting back! We have had clean-up days, and plain walls are done up cleverly by Graffiti artists or schools to stop Taggers from tagging. I don't know why they don't tag any more, but thats just what... happens! It looks cool, Anyhow. Check out the wall at The Waikato Uni:




But not every thing is good news. Taggers don't get caught much, so it's a burden to our Police. In a small inerview an officer told me that the only thing they can do to stop Graffiti too much is to cover up vulerable spots and create special programmes that use children painting over Graffiti - Good as new!


And, no matter what happens, Hamilton will just be.... Hamilton! Just,hopefully, a lot cleaner!
