Hackney clean-up started, by 'bric on Nov 6, 2007 22:59:36 GMT 1, Just been on the bus passing under the old street and kingsland road bridges where there used to be all sorts of bill-posters, street art paste ups and the odd bit of really nice spray work.
Now the whole lot is gone, bare white walls. There are only two signs reading "no graffiti no bills you are being watched".
I know it's been discussed in a few other threads but the absence of the above has removed some of the soul of the area. I just hope this drastic clean-up doesn't extend down through shoreditch and over to brick lane.

Its true, I really think as a community we should have a zero tolerance policy on zero tolerance policies. Hackney here we come. ;D
Afterall you don't want the 'clean wall syndrome' to kick in, everyone will start loosing perspective and just start using the high streets to be consumers again. Really must stop that happening quickly or it will become entreched. ;D

Hackney clean-up started, by caswellbay on Nov 8, 2007 18:11:55 GMT 1, I 'accidentally' pressed a red button in work once. It was not long after I'd started and was on a pillar thing by my desk. It was followed by a sort of electrical wining sound, which got louder and louder for about 20 secs, and was in turn followed by a loud clunk as the emergency cut out for the power to the floor kicked in. There were about 150 IT developers working on the floor at the time, and I spent the next two weeks apologising for all the work they'd lost.

Hackney clean-up started, by jon0 on Nov 9, 2007 12:47:18 GMT 1, Shoreditch/Hackney is my hood yo. there are simply too many big guns who live here and too many guests/artists who hit the walls when visiting from all over the world. it will be very tough to stop them.
seen this morning on my way to bank (by Old Street roundabout) three massive Elbow Toe pastes.. all in very prominent places where there are loads of cctv.. (soz no photos)
Banksy's kid with skull is still up and 'un-vandalised' by taggers or buffers
there are some big Obeys up by near Curtain road (although one is ripped by some numpty wanting a keepsake..)
they clean the walls but those walls will always be hit right back.
long live Hackney!

its stuff like that that just ruins brick lane and the surrounding areas. what the council cant see is that people come all over the world to look at our graffiti and street art. and is really painting your name on a wall a "crime" I read that they reckon man became intelligent when we first started writing on names on cave walls.
