Knife Angel mural unveiled in Hatfield subway

Hertfordshire Police said knife-related crime remained low in the county, compared to other parts of the country.

The county council said that to make sure the messaging on the mural “spoke directly to young people”, pupils at Bishop’s Hatfield Girls’ School were involved in developing the words that accompany the artwork.

Rutter added: “This project has built on the momentum of the Knife Angel, encouraging reflection, conversation and positive change.”

The Hatfield mural is one of three artwork projects delivered across Hertfordshire’s walking routes in recent months.

A new Beano-themed mural was unveiled at Waltham Cross station, along with new artwork at Welwyn Garden City railway station marking its 100th anniversary.
