Rejected petition Unlock the Illegal Art

More details

We believe that around the UK there should be places that graffiti can take place without being illegal.
Surveys showed that less people would deface shops and public walls if there were legal places that anyone could go and graffiti. It would bring down crime rates and evidently make cities a lot more colourful. We are hoping for designated areas where graffiti is legal such as certain walls, train stations or skate parks. After all, graffiti is art. Expressing oneself should not be illegal.
