Well done to the Hutt City Council
On Thursday morning I found that some ... one had badly tagged the bus stop. And they had also left one tag on the front fence.
I would have a photo of the damage to the bus stop, but within 24 hours of it being tagged (actually, more like 12 hours) the council's contractors had cleaned up and repainted the bus shelter.
And the fence needs to be repainted anyway - the old paint is starting to fade and I think it will begin cracking and peeling in a year or so. I painted over the tag that evening. (I was surprised at the number of people driving by who shouted encouragement at removing the tag!)
All in all, it was a waste of money on buying a spraypaint can and then going to the effort of using it for the wannabe tagger known as "Ska". (At least I think that's what it says.)

but now he can be famous on the internet!
I guess the promptness of HCC's actions makes me feel a bit better about the $40 parking ticket I had to pay :-(

I wouldn't have thought that this blog has much of a following amongst Lower Hutt's taggers - Actually I don't think it has much of a following fullstop!
