Major new graffiti clampdown launched
02 April 2007
|
Following pressure from Liberal Democrats at Reading Borough Council’s budget meeting in February, the Council has rushed through a new Graffiti Removal Policy.
This includes free graffiti removal from private properties – something which is now normal practice in Liberal Democrat controlled councils and for which Annette Hendry and your local Lib Dem councillors and activists have been arguing.
Gareth Epps, Reading East Parliamentary Spokesman, seen in the photo, has been pressing the council for faster action on graffiti.
The campaign will launch with a year long “Big Clean Up”, with free removal of visible 'tags' from all residential properties,
Welcoming the new policy, Annette Hendry said –
“Graffiti is a real blight on an area. Research shows that if allowed to remain it can quickly lead to other forms of anti social behaviour. But cleaning it up is only the first step. Preventing repeat attacks is equally important and this is a job for all of us to report fresh attacks as soon as they occur so that offenders can be identified. I congratulate the local residents who have been diligent in removing graffiti themselves. Let’s ensure the offenders who put it there get community service to clean up the mess they have made”
