The Foyle MLA said “Over recent months I have been lobbying the Housing Executive to try and come up with a solution around the removal of unsightly graffiti on the gable walls of people’s homes.
“It’s a nightmare for residents who have invested a lot of money in keeping their homes and gardens in good condition only to wake up in the morning to find someone has painted or sprayed canned graffiti all over the side of their home.
“The Housing Executive is working very hard with the External Cycle Maintenance scheme (ECM) to improve the facades of homes across the Moor district and I commend them for this.
“But this graffiti is just a blot over all that good work.
“It makes homes and entire streets look shabby and unkept when the opposite is the case.
“I hope in the weeks ahead that the Housing Executive can carry out a programme of graffiti removal across the area.”
