Video: On the road with graffiti busters
3:05pm Monday 2nd June 2008
LEWISHAM College student Anita Agyemang took her phone out to record how graffiti is tackled in the borough - watch the video.
Last year Lewisham Council cleaned off enough graffiti to stretch from Lewisham to Dover.
In a unique and innovative approach, the council has signed up members of the public to be graffiti busters.
Under the Love Lewisham scheme you can use your mobile phone to photograph graffiti and send it to the council's graffiti busting squad.
They promise a rapid response and to publish before and after' pictures on their website.
With phone in hand Anita took to the road to test the system.
