Of the pictures I&#8217;ve taken myself, the only ones remaining are the gremlin dog near the parkland between Southmere Lake and Lesnes Abbey, and the runner in the highly decorated area at the basketball park. Other work is painted over, often the same day I first spot it &#8211; and I walk past these areas regularly. Meanwhile, someone has scrawled a name and the word &#8220;slug&#8221; (it&#8217;s possibly meant to say &#8220;slag&#8221; but doesn&#8217;t appear to) in one of the areas where the decent stuff is erradicated in hours.
