VANDALS STRIKE TO SPOIL CLEAN-UP ART

Vandals have covered part of Montpelier railway station in ugly graffiti tags just weeks after it was given a makeover.Police believe up to five people went on a spraying spree on Monday night, vandalising a wall recently painted with a large mural.

 

Artists only recently covered graffiti which had blighted the unmanned station for years and First Great Western, which looks after the platforms, is now offering a £500 reward for information.

 

The mural was painted on ground floor walls of the station, which is on the Severn Beach Line, and the walls at the front of the main station building were cleaned. The artwork was part of a massive overhaul planned for the station, which has long been targeted by graffiti artists.

 

Schools and businesses helped with the revamp, in which all areas of the station were painted and a new station garden put in.

 

The theory behind covering over graffiti with a mural was that so- called street artists would not want to deface a well-designed and credible piece of work. However, it appears not to have worked.

 

A clean-up team was sent to the station to remove the vandals' work.

 

First Great Western now plans to install CCTV cameras to monitor the station and record any vandal activity.

 

Spokesman Adrian Booth said: "We are appalled that this has taken place. We've recently done a lot of work to tidy up the station and are very disappointing to see that this has happened.

 

"If anyone can come forward to the police with any information which later leads to a conviction then we are prepared to pay a £500 reward."

 

Detective Constable Colin Saysell, of the British Transport Police, said: "It was only two weekends ago that professional artists covered up all the tags with neutral colours. That work has been trashed with graffiti. All of the murals have been defaced.

 

"We believe it is the work of as many as five people, counting the number of individual tags which they have scrawled over everything. We are now appealing to anyone who may have witnessed anything to get in touch.

 

just when things were lookin nice these little bastards have to go and deface such good work..........................
