Anti-pee walls plea

Stop people peeing on our walls! That is a Paris resident’s plea as he asks the city to use anti-urine paint on walls so drunks “get their own back”.

Xavier Delaporte, 31, says drunks are making the 18th arrondissement a “disgusting” place to live as they urinate on walls and especially the local supermarket. He told 20 Minutes newspaper they “buy their beers first thing in the morning and then pee it up the walls and the front of the supermarket”.

Now he has taken advantage of the capital’s public budget consultation to demand that it include funds to cover the walls with anti-urine paint – so any urine rebounds back.
