Graffiti busting and slaying the rubbish beast of Bow

Today I have mostly been painting over obscene and racist graffiti between Bow Locks and Old Ford Locks (19).

A team of four volunteers (SD, VS, PE & NS) and myself, took masonry paint and line marking spray to the rather nasty stuff that had appeared in places along this route. We tried our best to leave less offensive and more artistic street art untouched.

SD tackles some unpleasantness.

VS obliterates racism.

And I snap a quick pic while everyone grabs some lunch
and watches the TV crew setting up to film The Royals.

At the end we still had enough energy to deal with this:

...the dreaded big rubbish bag that has lurked on the Lee towpath between Bow and the Greenway for over a year. Finding it light enough for four of us to drag, we pulled it to Old Ford Locks and left it with the rubbish for a truck or van to collect in due course. Begone foul trash bag!
