Civic attended & exhibited at the Auckland Region Graffiti Free Symposium held at the Ellerslie Event Centre on Tuesday 8th June.
There were a number of keynote speakers from Canada & the USA that provided interesting insights into various aspects of Graffiti Vandalism.
It was interesting to note that the successful strategies & programmes implemented in hot-beds of Graffiti Vandalism like those that exist in the States are already in place here in Auckland.
Mayor John Banks opened the Symposium & made it quite clear that he has a Zero Tolerance attitude to Graffiti Vandalism & that he is delighted with the progress being made on cleaning up Graffiti Vandalism in our City under the leadership of Rob Shields with the Education, Eradication & Enforcement strategy.
