Graffiti

Graffiti is a major slight on the environment. It looks unsightly and cause offence. It makes an area look run down and contributes to the perception that a place is unsafe. The Council has a number of teams that operate throughout the city removing and painting over graffiti.

• We will remove offensive graffiti (racist, sexually explicit, abusive or names an individual) within 24 hours of being reported
• Other graffiti in public places will be removed as soon as possible
• If the graffiti is on private property we will liaise with the owners to remove it. There may be a charge for this but racist or offensive material will be removed for free.

What you can do

Report graffiti to the customer service centre on 9152000 or report it online. (Please include as much detail as possible - the location of the graffiti and what kind of surface it is on, etc.)

If you work within or are involved with a Community Group you can request a Graffiti Removal Kit (full training will be given on collection of kit) from the Graffiti Team based at Woolsthorpe Depot, Woolsthorpe Close, Bilborough on 0115 9155781, a team member will answer all enquires.
