Graffiti is writing or drawings made on a wall or other surface without permission and in public view.
It is a criminal offence that can lead to a large fine by the magistrates’ court. The council or police can also issue an £80 fixed penalty notice.
You can report graffiti anonymously.
We will remove offensive or racist graffiti from:
The council is responsible for removing graffiti from public buildings, street furniture or monuments. We will do this within 7 working days.
It is the property owners responsibility to keep their property clear of graffiti and fly-posting.
We can issue a “defacement removal notice' to the property owner. This requires them to remove the graffiti within 28 days. If they fail to do so, we can remove it ourselves and will charge the property owner for this work.
We may remove graffiti from private homes and other private property once the owner gives their permission, subject to available resources. This will only be removed provided that it is adjacent to the public highway and safely accessible.
