Report graffiti

Graffiti on private property

Removing graffiti from privately owned property is the responsibility of the property owner. However, if the graffiti is offensive, racist, or abusive, we will remove it as a priority.

For all other graffiti, we may be able to help — contact NCSL to request a quote.

Graffiti on electricity or telephone junction boxes

Graffiti on utility boxes is the responsibility of the relevant utility company. However, if the graffiti is offensive, racist, or abusive, we will remove it as a priority.

For all other graffiti, please contact the utility company using the details usually displayed on the box.

Fines and enforcement

Graffiti is a criminal offence and can be reported to the police. A fixed penalty notice of £80 may also be issued by us to anyone caught carrying out graffiti.

If you have been issued with an FPN, find out how to pay it.
