Shutters clean-up
So many businesses use shutters (which were not that widespread a generation ago) but fail to clean them when they’re inevitably vandalised. They shut up shop, go home and leave residents and visitors with the eyesore. Use some money to clean them, regularly, or to pay for artists to paint them and apply an anti-vandal varnish. Or, swap them for the ones that are grilles. Some areas of Southwark seem to have been cleaned up, like Walworth Road, whilst Rye Lane looks dreadful. Why it’s allowed to fester and attract more tagging is beyond me.
