Street Scene information
Graffiti / tagging clearance.
BWC hold a range of masonry paints for overpainting graffiti. The colours are
White, Magnolia, Goosewing, Redbrick, Sandstone, Black, Merlin, Hollybush
**It is therefore a good idea to use one of the standard colours to paint your fence or garage door which will enable volunteers or BWC to overpaint small tags quickly
