Graffiti and Flyposting Report Form
Getting graffiti and flyposters removed
Responsibility for removing graffiti and flyposting
The council is responsible for removing graffiti from public buildings, street furniture or monuments as well as removing flyposters.
Other items such as telephone boxes, bus shelters and electricity boxes are the responsibility of the company that has placed them there.
However, the local authority does have a power to issue a 'defacement removal notice' to the property owner, which requires them to remove the graffiti or flyposting within 28 days. If they fail to do so, the local authority can do the work themselves and recover the costs.
The Council cannot remove graffiti or flyposting from private households and other private property without the owner's permission. However, many offer a free or subsidised service to assist the removal.
Reporting problems to the Council
If you are affected by graffiti or flyposting or you see it on property nearby, you can report it to the Waste Services Team we will be able to advise what steps can be taken to remove it.
