Graffiti, the Growing Problem
Graffiti is a form of vandalism, and is a growing problem costing the UK £1billion to get it removed. Local councils have the power to order its removal by companies and residents. You can find graffiti everywhere from telephone boxes, bus shelters, street furniture and even gravestones.
Graffiti – What is it?
Graffiti is the defacement of property of others. It can be simply/political messages, tags, drawings etc.
[A poor (rich) victim of graffiti?]
What can you do if you become a victim of graffiti?
First of all, you can try to get rid of it yourself. Failing that, if you contact your local council, they can have it removed fro you at no cost.
How to avoid Graffiti?
If you find graffiti on your property, the quicker you remove it the highly likely the act of removing it becomes a deterrent.
Try to keep spare tins of paint in stock for quick and matching cover ups.
Consider anti-graffiti coatings, these can be bought from most DIY stores.
