YOUNG people in Amesbury have requested a graffiti wall in the town.

Police community support officers told Amesbury Town Council that a large proportion of antisocial behaviour is due to graffiti.

Teenagers are using the internet to post images of their tags.

Both councillors and police officers say that some youngsters have asked them if it would be possible to have a permanent wall where they could legally spray paint.

They have been invited to present their case at a town council meeting in the new year.

Discussions could then get underway about funding the project and choosing a suitable location for the wall.
