COUNCIL VANDALISM

this is the sort of action Bristol City Council takes against local community and street minded artists.
Remember this is the council that thought it was fit to facilitate Bristol as the European City of Culture 2008.
Another fact about Bristol City Council: in the Government league tables of local councils published 2007 Bristol came second from bottom...which seemed a generous assessment to me

Thanks for putting this out... I didn't spot you filming the response... I have spoken to the Council, and SITA did do the dirty deed... But they are also aware that they made a mistake, and are taking steps to make sure that it doesn't happen again... We had a school trip from Lulsgate yesterday to view the street art on the croft... So, it is beginning to be recognised as a positive asset for the city....

i cant believe they painted over that. i feel really sad about that. grrrr. ironic that it looks more ugly and much worse now, rather than the way it was before.
