Festival runs into controversy
A plan to bring an international graffiti art festival to West Yorkshire has taken a step forward.

Organisers of a month-long celebration of street art in Castleford said that if the event was successful they would bid for the bigger event.

The World Graffiti Jam Tour has, in the past, attracted artists from around the world.

Controversy is likely however, as the Keep Britain Tidy group has slammed glamourising graffiti as anti-social.
