By the way, why don’t you (the Guldehandsteeg) do something about this graffiti? If nothing else, “our” alley is mostly graffiti-free, thanks to our anti-plak-en-klad contracts. We can definitely recommend the APK contracts from the gemeente. Reasonably priced, and they remove any graffiti as soon as you tell them about it.

If you like we can even talk to the gemeente about including your street in our joint contract, something that we arranged several years ago for some of the other buildings in our street. If I remember correctly we received a discount because there was more than one building. Please leave a comment if this sounds interesting, or send me an email (my email address is on the letter that you received a couple of weeks ago). And, yes, yes, I can read Dutch (but my own written Dutch is terrible).

I think this graffiti at the entrance to your street is a glaring contrast to the rest of your street. And after all, the graffiti stays around a lot longer than the rubbish mountain that I keep fussing about.
