To propose a policy for removal of graffiti in the borough on both public and private assets.

Following consideration, it was resolved:

(1)      To approve the proposed policy for graffiti removal in the borough as set out in section three of the report.

(2)      To approve the proposal to offer a fee-based graffiti removal service for private assets as set out in section five of the report.

The Committee received a report proposing a policy for removal of graffiti in the borough on both public and private assets.

The Committee considered the following matters:

a)            Graffiti removal kits: once the graffiti removal kits for volunteers have been costed, and health and safety guidelines developed, these would be made available to volunteers if the budget permits.

b)            Payment for removal of graffiti from private property: it was noted that the owner of a property would never be compelled to pay for the removal of graffiti. 

Following consideration, the Committee resolved (6 in favour, 1 against, 1 abstention and the Chair not voting) to:

(1)      Approve the proposed policy for graffiti removal in the borough as set out in section three of the report.

(2)      Approve the proposal to offer a fee-based graffiti removal service for private assets as set out in section five of the report.
