If the graffiti is on private property

If the graffiti is on private property, you’ll need to report it to the property owner.

If the graffiti is on:

Street furniture, such as:

  • telephone boxes
  • bus shelters
  • telecommunication boxes

Or on property belonging to:

  • statutory undertakers
  • education institutions

Then we will forward your report to the relevant organisation responsible for their assets and property.

If no action is taken within a reasonable time, we have powers to require the removal of the graffiti by serving a Defacement Removal Notice.
