National Highways' first legal street art scheme started at Brown's Tunnel's under the Clifton flyover in 2022, but will end on Saturday, October 21, after some artists allegedly used graffiti to 'target an individual”
An artist has spoken of his disappointment over the approaching end of a huge legal street art scheme in Nottingham. National Highways' first legal street art scheme started at Brown's Tunnel's under the Clifton flyover in 2022, but it will end on Saturday, October 21, after some artists allegedly used graffiti to "target an individual” in response to Clifton and Silverdale residents complaining about the expanding artwork.
"Why couldn't we have to apply for a licence that would deter people who want to break the rules. Nobody was bothered before when it was just in the tunnels, so why can't it be rolled back. It has made the tunnels look less dodgy and threatening and parents with kids come up and ask what is going on because they enjoy seeing us paint."
Mr Bird said he would reluctantly stop visiting the tunnels and look elsewhere after the licence expires. He said the space had been a haven for artists who wanted to avoid getting into trouble for expressing themselves, especially for female artists like his own daughter, who had felt more safe painting in the daylight.
