Yes Its true!
Since the first day that Wilson started resolving the local issues in Chadwell he promised to find a solution to the problem of Graffiti in the ward. This was by far the highest priority to residents during his numerous street surgeries. Two years on Chadwell has become the cleanest ward in the borough rather than the most targeted.
Working with the General Cleansing Team, Wilson has reported over 300 incidents of graffiti, and highlighted particularly prone areas. This has resulted in a cleaning programme like no other in the borough as we have often jumped the queue because of the workable list provided increasing efficiency of visits. The General Cleansing team’s Street scene service were so impressed with Wilson’s work, they even nominated him for a Safer Communities award in November last year!
On the 7th of January 2009 Russell Ward leader of the Streetscene Service, confirmed that Wilson’s most recent list of works was complete (created via Wilson’s personal audit of the ward). Mr Ward also confirmed that his staff could find no other traces of graffiti…it is with this in mind that we would like to declare this date as Victory over Graffiti Day! Graffiti may return but with the excellent service provided by Russell’s department and Wilson’s continuous reporting – the graffiti miscreants have no chance. Their graffiti will be removed or they will be caught!
Already hotspot locations provided by Wilson resulted in a number of covert operations that culminated in the apprehension of several perpetrators. Furthermore, Wilson reported drug dealing occurring along Essex Road that led to the arrest of a dealer, moreover in his flat were examples of graffiti that were seen across the borough and he was prosecuted for this also. This felon will be re-housed outside the ward on release from prison.
In the picture below you can see that Wilson and his daughter have been painting over some of the graffiti in the ward, after obtaining cans from the Streetscene Team. Should any residents of Chadwell want to join the fight against this social malaise Wilson is willing to forward paint and brushes to you….please make contact.

The Green Party believes that graffiti reduces community morale and increases the perception of crime. To reduce incidents we intend to support community organisations such as Schools, Youth organisations and other youth services to educate young perpetrators on the consequences of their action. Harsher penalties for insubordination of this type and public shaming of repeat offenders, via local media, would provide a more effective deterrent against this antisocial crime.If you have any small or large Graffiti concerns please inform Wilson using the contact detail in the side bar.
