Graffiti
Graffiti on council and private property
We will deal with graffiti on council owned and managed property, for example: street name plates, litter bins, council operated car parks, council buildings.
We will arrange for the removal of the graffiti in a timescale determined by the content, with the highest priority likely to be given to graffiti which is racist or offensive in some other way.
Not all graffiti is removable in the first instance and sometimes shading does occur.
If it is on private residential or commercial property, we will contact the owners to assist them in arranging for the removal.
You can report it to us using our online form, providing the specific location and type of graffiti, for example. tag, words or image.
Graffiti in other public locations
Graffiti in other public locations should be reported directly to the owner, as they are responsible for its removal.
