Webb said it`s important for the graffiti community to work together. “The new wall was just installed when we removed the old skatepark. We had to find another place where they could show off their talents. Local graffiti artists are pleased with Tamworth Regional Council`s recent decision to allow a 6-month trial of 2 legal walls to be painted. Tamworth graffiti artists can now legally paint on two walls of the skatepark after discussions with Tamworth Regional Council that resulted in a 6-month trial. It`s a stable trend, but one that Russell Webb, chair of Tamworth`s crime prevention task force, wants to curb with the installation of a new graffiti wall where artists can walk around town. There are also graffiti festivals supported by local councils in Leicester Birmingham Tamworth Manchester Sheffield Bristol and London Tamworth Graffiti artist Luke Hodge talks about his art while spraying on a new legal wall at Tamworth Skatepark. Luke Hodge and his friends have already gone to the legal walls with their spray paint. Previously, graffiti artists could only legally spray at the former McCarthy College site on Warral Road, where they found asbestos and used needles. As part of this new collaboration, the council will provide paint to artists to frequently cover walls to prevent illegal vandalism of private and public property. The new legal graffiti wall is located in Tamworth`s Lion Park on Coorigal Street, Hillvue. “A few years ago, graffiti became a real problem, the clean-up work was expensive for the council, the industry and individuals,” he said.

Tamworth was the first city in Australia to light its streets with municipal electricity in 1888. A larger power station was built in 1923 on a site on Marius Street, East Tamworth, due to high demand for Elektritown, and the main building was demolished in 1982. The Tamworth Power Station Museum aims to tell the story of the city`s role in the development of electric street lighting, from the beginnings of oil lamps in 1876 and gas lamps in 1882 to the installation of the first electric lamps in November 1888. The museum has one of the largest collections of early 20th century electrical appliances in Australia. Subscription TV services are provided by Austar.
