Walkabout - Brickbat and Plaudit

 Burnt out fridges

Brickbat: On “walkabout” with the Police last Friday I spotted this eyesore, and potential danger at the rear of Currys on Middle Street. The burnt out fridge was “fired” weeks ago, and some youths arrested, so its downright irresponsible that it is still there - alongside another potential target. I’ve contacted Currys to move the fridge and notify me. I’ll let you know when it happens.

Graffiti “tag”

Plaudit: The “artist” of this graffiti in Berry Edge had struck again, this time on the wall of Levys on Middle Street. I notified Derwentside District Council’s graffiti removal team on Monday and went to take a picture to show you the problem. It was gone. Well done the Derwentside Team who I find very responsive when asked. We’ll be doing well if the service is as good when Derwentside is abolished and we all have to rely on a council based in Durham.

And if you know anything about this graffiti please let me or the police know.

have your say
