Graffiti removed from Cenotaph by Bristol Waste team
The day after it appeared, the graffiti that was daubed on the Cenotaph has been removed by a team from Bristol Waste.
The hi-vis team attended the Grade II-listed monument before daybreak on a wet and cold Tuesday morning.
They then proceeded to remove the writing that had been sprayed in red paint on a pair of the square blocks at each corner of the limestone memorial and on some of its stepped plinth.
At 8.28am, Bristol mayor Marvin Rees tweeted: “Sincere thanks to the team from @BristolWaste for cleaning the graffiti off the cenotaph this morning.”
Bristol Waste is a Bristol City Council-owned company which employs more than 550 people who make 17m collections every year; as well as cleaning 800 miles of streets and footpaths, and deal with 180,000 ad hoc job requests and service queries annually.
