Listen to a mayor making a public announcement.0:05
Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us in celebration of Graffiti Action Day.0:12
Since we launched our campaign 2 years ago to combat graffiti in our town, I am pleased to report that instances of vandalism have decreased by an incredible 27%.0:19
However, while we have made remarkable progress, there is still more that can be done.0:31
Graffiti is still widespread on many of our streets, affecting the image of our town.0:37
However, we will not allow it to dampen our community spirit.0:43
In honour of Graffiti Action Day, I am asking citizens to join forces with the authorities in order to combat this problem.0:47
We would like to set up neighbourhood cleanup schemes where residents take responsibility for keeping their areas graffiti-free.0:56
Neighbourhood patrols would be established to locate and cover up graffiti and would be provided with the necessary tools for the task such as paint, gloves and brushes.1:04
Of course, you will not be in this alone.1:15
The local council will also contribute all their efforts to help combat vandalism.1:19
Don't take a back seat.1:25
Together, let's clean up our beautiful town once and for all.1:28
