THE GRAFFITI BUSTER: OUTRAGED MUM BUYS COUNCIL A POWER SPRAYER
The graffiti buster: Mother-of-four Jean tries out the power spray gun

MOTHER-of-four Jean Chapman was outraged when vandals sprayed red paint over 40 buildings, lamp posts and benches in her local market town.
She decided to do something about it by donating £8,500 to buy a special cleaner so that council workmen could remove the graffiti.
The diesel-powered machine can blast out heated water at 200 times the pressure of a normal hose.
* WIN A LUXURY LONG WEEKEND FOR TWO IN CAIRO!!! INCLUDES BA CLUB CLASS FLIGHTS, FIVE STAR ACCOMMODATION AND £1,000 SPENDING MONEY! *
Businesswoman Mrs Chapman, 47, who owns a recruitment company in Sudbury, Suffolk, said: “I was driving to work when I saw all this red graffiti everywhere.
“Sudbury is a nice town and I want it kept that way. I moved my family to the area to get away from this sort of behaviour in Essex. It makes sense for the council to have its own machine to avoid having to pay contractors.”
Town clerk Sue Brotherwood said: “It is extremely public spirited of Mrs Chapman. We would not have been able to afford the kit without her help.”

Understandable that Mrs Chapman wants to keep the town as it is without vandalism. £8,500 is a alot of money but I spose it shows peoples commitment to their home towns.
That Luxury long weekend sounds pretty gd too.

i guess its her own money so she can do what she wants with it. but it doesn't really solve the problem because they not punishing anyone there just cleaning up after them. i don't really find graffetti bad to look at and i guess her views are pretty traditional and it could be argued that graffetti is not vandalism but art...
I got distracted by the luxury long weekend competition thing in the middle, have i won? But about Mrs Chapman, i think its good that she has done it, it's her money so she can do what she wants with it. I don't understand why people wouldn't want a clean town. some graffiti can be classed as art, but this doesn't sound like a Banksy so im guessing its your usual wanky tags n tings! Go Mrs C
I think it's perfectly viable of her to do providing she has the money to do it! I know personally i wouldn't be able to fork out 8 grand and continue to live comfortably! But, yeah i think its for a good cause and fairplay to the woman! No-one wants to see 'Charmaine is a slag' scrawled all over the place so i can understand her intentions although costly! hope this helps, ben x

thank you for your comments and opinions guys keep em coming please its all in aid of Graphic Design and my education lol :) x
a kind, supportive effort towards the council on ms chapman's part, but surely some of the money would have been better spent on CSO's to patrol the area? perhaps this would prevent further action in the future, as oppossed to just having the facilities to "blast out heated water"?

yeah i thought it was a little unnecessary to spend all that money and take matters into her own hands. She has good intentions, although this kind of action is going to put contractors out of a job.
Also i cant help but wonder if the pressure washer would be cause corrosive damage to the buildings and walls and so on.

Utter shit , a woman complaining for complaining sake. It would have been sorted out eventually. Just shows the council should have more legal Walls about

I think she assumed it would be a good idea but seriously the money could be better spent.. thousands of people are dying across the world and she's outraged by a bit of graffiti.. really?
^amen to that!

you could even push to say its selfish because she says she wants to keep the town the way it was, but eventually something is going to change. I might be reading to much into it but she could well be a control freak.
