Year anniversary for Caerphilly legal graffiti wall

An event to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the opening of the first legal graffiti wall in Caerphilly county borough will take place this Friday.

The ‘Wreck Jam’ event will take place this Friday August 28 at Caerphilly Skate Park at Caerphilly Leisure Centre at 11.30am.

In the year since the legal graffiti wall was opened, it has provided people with a place where they can graffiti in a completely legal way.

The wall has helped to reduce the amount of graffiti on buildings in Caerphilly town centre and the surrounding area.

Sergeant Gavin Clifton, of Gwent Police, said: “Over the last year we have seen the number of reported incidents of graffiti across Caerphilly reduce by a half, compared to the previous year.

“The graffiti wall appears to have been well used during this time, which is very pleasing.”
