Councilman Weiner Launches War on Graffiti

CHARGE ! : County Councilman Robert Weiner has launched a 'War on Graffiti' in his western Brandywine Hundred district. In a series of emails, he has mustered some civic associations, the Brandywine School District, county police Explorer Scout troops and other groups to organize rapid-response 'citizen brigades'. The volunteer militia will stand ready to turn out as soon as unwanted decoration appears to at least paint over it, if not eventually to wipe it out. Green Acres Civic Association has already agreed to take on supports under the Interstate 95 and C.S.X. railroad bridges along Silverside Road.

"The successful lesson that New York City's anti-graffiti campaign taught us is the importance of immediate action ... in order to frustrate the graffiti vandals," Weiner said. As he sees it, each participating community will set up an organization under the leadership of a captain to whom residents will be urged to report any graffiti they spot. Delaware Department of Transportation has agreed to supply paint and safety equipment.  "This broad public-private partnership is essential if we hope to take back control of our communities from graffiti vandals and other criminal elements," Weiner said.

"Bob Weiner has done a great job in developing and constantly keeping a watchful eye over the Talley Day County Park and its dog park. I live on Wilson Road directly across the street from the park. I talk to many pet owners who just love the park. Many have told me that it's very relaxing there and they love the fact that their dogs can play together in a secure environment. When Bob walks around the park with his two dogs he stops to say hi to everyone. He certainly deserves credit for a job "well done" and I thank him for that along with so many pet owners. "
