Network Rail has worked with a local artist and community group to brighten up Love Lane footbridge in York as part of a wider project to tackle graffiti in the area.
Graffiti near the railway is unpleasant for people in the community and for passengers. As well as being illegal, it can lead to other crimes. But cleaning it costs millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money and uses valuable time, which could be used making improvements to the railway.
Chris Goodwin在铁路周围维护了该地区，并回应了任何问题，同时确保火车服务可以安全可靠地运行。他的团队不得不在Love Lane Bridge上涂鸦 - 在东海岸主线 - 多次运行。
随着哈罗盖特约克和龙桥的医院桥持续存在的问题，他们组织了一个项目，让人们思考瞄准网站。
他们委托东骑自愿行动服务，而不是再回来又一次地回来，称为Ervas和艺术家，艾玛服装，为三座桥梁设计和涂抹一块。
Work was completed over the weekend on Love Lane bridge. The artwork includes detailed mallard ducks, representing the local area and nearby nature reserve, Hob Moor.
医院桥梁将有一个NHS主题和当地学校的孩子们正在参与帮助设计龙桥的艺术品。
克里斯说：“我们组织了这个项目来帮助照亮这个地区和爱巷桥的艺术品看起来很棒。
“亚搏彩票软件官网网络铁轨决定在铁路附近和附近涂鸦，但不幸的是这是一个持续的问题。我们在这些桥梁上花了宝贵的时间覆盖涂鸦，只有在该区域再次瞄准时必须返回。
“社区中的人们已经有这么多积极评论，我迫不及待地想看到在医院桥和龙桥完成的工作。”
Devan Witter BEM, Engagement and Development Officer for East Riding Voluntary Action Services, said: “We are really pleased with the results of the ongoing community arts project in York that has been commissioned by Network Rail.
“爱情巷是已被确定为涂鸦热点的领域之一，我们与Emma Garness合作，以解决这个问题并照亮当地社区。到目前为止的积极评论很棒。“
艾玛Garness,艺术家,他说:“这是一个呼吸的fresh air painting this 40-metre footbridge for Network Rail. Under normal circumstances, I would have involved the local community in the painting of this mural.
“我能做的下一个最好的事情就是将它与直接位置的参考资料联系起来 - 摇滚乐滚垫上的野鸭鸭子和由志愿者种植的1000个蓝铃铛在11月在小滚刀沼地上种植。本地社区享有这两个地区。
“所有这些视觉连接都有助于使这款人行桥成为一个光线，积极和明亮的地方。鲜艳的绘画它，我与当地家庭有一些可爱的对话，他们告诉我他们欣赏这项工作。“
该项目遵循他们在1月份在CopManthorpe的寺庙巷道桥完成的工作。
