Graffiti
and fly poster s
are an increasing problem in our communities and the
way the problem is dealt with varies enormously depending
upon where you live. Use this website to find out if
your council removes graffiti for free and who to contact
if they don't. Also find out how to prevent the vandals
from targeting your property and what you can do to
help protect it.
Can
I get graffiti removed free of charge by my
Council?
