The Temperance and Providence statue on Clapham Common has been covered in graffiti by vandals. The statue which was presented to the people of the borough by the Temperance and Providence Society of Clapham. Originally the statue was also a water fountain and is one of the most recognised statues in the area.
Clapham councillors have reported the damage to the council and the police and are asking for urgent removal. Following earlier damage to the bandstand and other buildings on Clapham Common clearing off this graffiti sadly diverts resources which could easily be put to better use.
