Transcript

00:00Residents have praised a new work of art which is being painted in Hillsborough

00:05and criticised a vandal who wrote rude comments below it.

00:09It's one of two murals in roughly the same area of Hillsborough.

00:14Yes, I think it's nice. I think it brightens the area up.

00:18I love what they're doing actually to regenerate Hillsborough in general

00:23with all the murals and the painted door fronts and everything.

00:27I think it's fantastic. I think it's nice.

00:29It brings a lot more cheer to the area and pleasant things to look at.

00:34How do you feel about people putting some vandalism on the wall?

00:38I find it very, very disappointing and disheartening

00:42because people have spent a lot of time and effort doing this

00:45and also the people behind the scenes organising it and everything

00:48and I just think it shows complete ignorance on the part of those people

00:53that would deface something that somebody else has put so much time and effort into.

00:58Could you tell me what you think of the mural that's gone up on Briar Street here in Hillsborough?

01:03Well, I think it's nice. I think it's quite nice.

01:06Because that's a boring wall without that, really.

01:09And they've made it worse. What they've put at bottom, they've defaced it.

01:14That's not defaced the wall. I think it's nice.

01:18Are you quite cross to see somebody defacing it?

01:21Oh yeah, that's horrible.

01:23I mean, you have to see when Banksy comes and they deface that and I think it's horrible.

01:29It's not nice at all to do it like that.

01:33Could you tell me please what you think of the mural that's been put on the corner of Briar Street here in Hillsborough?

01:40I really like it. It really brightens up the high street and yeah, it's good. It's nice.

01:45It's a shame that someone has written some rude words over that but it is nice.

01:50So you disagree with the graffiti?

01:52Yes, very much so.
