Glastonbury artists turn boarded up drug garage into “incredible” work of art

ARTISTS in Glastonbury transformed a boarded up garage – previously inhabited by drug users – into a canvass for a magnificent mural.

The garage was boarded up by police in Sunday (May 5), who said it was previously “being used for the use of class A drugs”.

And, less than an hour later, it had become the host of a colourful mural created by Glastonbury Murals.

An Avon & Somerset Police spokesperson said it looked “incredible”.

“This graffiti was organised as a part of the Glastonbury Mural Trail with the appropriate permissions,” a spokesperson added.

Meanwhile, they said officers had noticed “an increase in tags not associated with the trail around the town”.

Anyone with information about who might be behind them should contact police on 101.
