Love E15

Fighting Fly-Tipping With Public Art

Love E15 is a community-building collective in West Ham that runs neighbourhood activities to encourage local residents’ sense of ownership and pride in their E15 area.

One local issue the group tackles is fly-tipping – Love E15 uses art and creativity to “beautify” local fly-tipping “hot-spots” in the hope this will prevent rubbish dumping.

In this spirit, Paint the Change joined the group to collaborate on a new community mural, designed with the Love E15 group and painted by Atma, bringing a load of colour and fun to Bull Road!

We also held a public painting session open to the community, where each participant wrote their name on one of the wall’s bricks before painting it over to finish the mural.
