“Graffiti is a longstanding antisocial issue across the country, and so we’re pleased to be able to trial this legal art wall in Melksham, with the hope it can be a success to roll out into other areas of the county,” he said.
Councillor Holder said other local authorities have trailed similar projects, and they have seen “a fall in illegal graffiti along with increased engagement with the community”.
“We hope to see some fantastic artwork showcased on the wall once it launches later this year – along with a decrease in illegal graffiti in Melksham during the coming months,” he added.
Art supplies will be provided by the artists and the council said they will step in to remove any inappropriate artwork if required.
