The clean up was a unique project and the first of its kind to be implemented in Belfast. It focused on removing paramilitary graffiti and murals in the Shankill area of Belfast, in addition to cleaning the area of litter and dumped materials and implementing a youth education programme. The removal of nominated political and paramilitary murals and graffiti has proven to been very successful, and multi-agency working with the local environment proved to be the key to the success of the project. The environment has been ‘de-sensitised’ and ‘normalised’ to a certain extent and this has been an improvement to the area, which will hopefully bring more investment.
