Most, if not all, of the green Open Reach and Virgin boxes in our area have been vandalised with Graffiti, so we asked residents if, in the event of granted permission, they’d like local artists and community groups to repaint them with creative and colourful community art work. The aim is to not only brighten up the area, but to also hopefully discourage future vandalism by promoting a sense of pride and respect for the area. The response from residents on facebook was 100% positive and lots of volunteers came forward wanting to get involved.

Lots of residents have helped log the location of the boxes and their reference numbers, and now it’s just a case of filling in a few forms, deciding who would like to paint which boxes, and submitting the designs for approval. If you’re interested in submitting a design, then please get in touch via our Pockthorpe Facebook group<\/a>.

We are still at the very early stages of this project. Open reach has provided a pack and a legal agreement. We will need a consultation with the council to get started and their approval! Hopefully, Norwich Council will love the idea as well.

We’re also currently looking into the potential funding available to cover the cost of this project. It looks like once we become an official group (which we’re currently in the process of finalising) lots of funding opportunities will become available to us.

If this is a project you would like to help with please get in touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
