We recently enlisted a local artist to create an art mural on one of our blocks.
Graffiti is a major problem and our London and Brighton apartments scheme in Peckham regularly falls victim to graffiti on the gas meters and bin store doors.
Not only is it unsightly, but it’s also expensive as we have to regularly recharge the cost to our homeowners through their service charges.
We reached out to local artist Sam Evans to transform the area into a colourful mural which would bring joy to the community; as well as deter vandals.
He designed three options that were then voted on by our leaseholders. They chose option three (they were all brilliant) and Sam soon got to work transforming the area.
Mural art can be seen across London, bringing colour and culture to local communities. Sam believes mural art can “influence positive change in local areas by being really uplifting, bright and inspiring young people to make the right decision by discipline themselves within the creative world.”
Thank you to Sam for his hard work!
We want to hear from you if you have an idea to improve your estate your block. Email your ideas to neighbourhood@wandle.com.
