Am I entitled to help clearing graffiti?
(From Off Licence News)
Q The side wall of my shop is constantly covered in graffiti. It seems that as soon as I clear it off, more reappears. It's got to the point where I can' be bothered to wast e my time painting over it. Am I entitled to help from my local council? A All the evidence suggests that the best possible response to freshly painted grafitti is to cover it up as soon as possible. It's likely that the "artist" will strike again, and when they do, the right response is to paint straight over it once again. If you haven' already done so, make sure you have a supply of paint that matches the colour of the wall so you're ready, if possible, to destroy the graffiti the morning you notice it.
This sounds like a tedious game of cat and mouse, and it can be just that. But in most cases the vandal will eventually give up, and pick a target where their handiwork will remain unmolested.
