Inventor Leads Way In Graffiti Busting
Ray Britner transformed himself from tree feller to inventor after an accident which left him with sight in just one eye.
The local council now uses his most famous creation, a special blast cleaner named Doris, to clean graffiti from public places.
John David, Executive member for the environment, said: “Before Doris came along, removing graffiti was time-consuming and very labour intensive. Thanks to Ray, our workers can respond more quickly to reports of graffiti
and make sure it’s removed as quickly as it appeared.”Ray, who named his invention after his late mother, explained: “I was interested in the history of blast cleaning and realised many of the systems in place had health and safety issues.
The Doris system is now used on a global scale and has even been recognised by the North West Regional Assembly and Envirolink North West for being environmentally friendly.
