'SF = SNOWY FOAM

By Ken Harrison

Litter attracts litter......in the same way graffiti attracts more graffiti.
Before Christmas some scally painted 'SF' on the windows of the extant Ian Cawsey's constituency office (7 Market Place) and on the brown shutters of the amusement arcade.
Walk through the Market Place, the graffiti, combined with the paint spill near the Tourist Information Office, it gives the impression that no-one cares.
The dog-eared impression could be the incentive for dubious others to assume a bit more area despoiling does no really matter. Graffiti is an offence, but does anyone, apart from me, realise that 'SF' has been sprayed in festive foam spray - the type one creates a frosty impression on a window? Rub the lettering with a finger and the 'paint' is very easily removed. Is is a case of 'look but don't touch'? Ironically, the graffiti could be removed within minutes - and it wouldn't warrant a lot of elbow grease.
NF adds: Reference has been made within Brigg Town Council to the ugly paint spill near the Tourist Information Centre. However, its removal should be organised by North Lincolnshire Council - responsible for footpaths and highways.
