Graffiti on homes will be painted over
Graffiti which is believed to be racist has been scrawled on homes in Wellingborough.
The letters PLM have been written on the walls of houses in Vivian Road and Newcomen Road.
John Casserly, head of environmental services at Wellingborough Council, said the graffiti would be painted over within a few days.
He said: “We are aware of the graffiti and have made contact with the property owners in Vivian Road, as before we can remove, or paint over such incidents, we have to have to obtain the property owners permission.
“We strive to remove any offensive graffiti within 24 hours but it is not always so straightforward.”
A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said: “Graffiti can be a form of anti-social behaviour, it can detrimentally affect the quality of life for people living in an area, is unsightly and can increase the fear of crime.
“Any form of graffiti is unacceptable but especially graffiti that may be racist, rude or offensive.”

Friday, February 17, 2012 at 05:15 PMIn my field, it's one of those silly TLAs that service management use to describe "looking after software" - Product Lifecycle Management. Try whacking it into google though, you'll find a meaning on the assorted racist scum sites out there.

Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 10:39 PMYou think PLM is bad, near to where I live painted on the walls is RXY obviously this was aimed at the small white English community living on our estate. This form of graffiti is unacceptable but especially graffiti that is racist, rude or offensive particular as this is aimed at the white community who have welcomed black and ethnic minorities into this country and small minority repay us by putting RXY on our walls.

Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 08:19 AMGiven the average level of intelligence in Rushden, its probably the initials of the graffiti artist. Mind you, theres no address and phone number so it must be one of the higher functioning individuals.

Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 03:46 PMWhat's racist about 'PLM'? Around where I live, one prolific artist has sprayed his name everywhere, regardless of who was living in the property.
