Truly creditable.
The chosen solution to clean the mural up and apply protection to it has produced a remarkable piece of restoration work.
Well done to everyone involved.
Kudos to Lewisham Council teams (maybe with assistance from councillors?) but there was a little fly in our beautiful mural ointment … while the painting team could clean and repaint the mural, there was an ugly tag on the wall next to it which they could not do anything about.
See here on the right:
I reported this on 21st May via the Love Clean Streets app, and today I received confirmation that it has been dealt with and removed, and have even returned a photo of the wall

Ah that’s great - I also reported it on May 21st and got notification that the work was completed a day or two ago. I hadn’t had a chance to take a look yet, but it’s super that they acted so quickly! I was reminded of criminology’s broken windows thesis when I reported it, in that if little things like that get fixed in a timely way, it puts people off adding to them with more graffiti.
