PUTTING GRAFFITI IN ITS PLACE
« Eynsham youngsters received an unexpected invitation - to paint graffiti on a kickwall in the Oxford Road skateboard park - on 26 October 2006.
The wall was specially chosen for graffiti use because Eynsham residents have identified vandalism as their #1 priority to tackle locally. Neighbourhood Action Group (NAG) members hope that it will stop this type of criminal damage occurring elsewhere in the village. Click on any image to enlarge. New look 2008 below
