Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen & friend

And now Mayor Steve Bullock has chosen Fairlawn School in Honor Oak Road to bring the message home to our kids. Steve got a graffiti shirted Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen along on Monday 25 April to launch a borough-wide primary schools’ art competition that encourages young people to take up art and not graffiti.

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, said: “I'm looking forward to seeing the artwork; I know there's a lot of talent out there! It's important that young people channel their artistic energies into the right areas, and it will be exciting to see what they can come up with."

Laurence will choose the winning picture to be unveiled in June. The winning picture will be turned into a giant scale version and take pride and place on the side of a Council refuse vehicle so that thousands of local people around the borough can admire it.
