Graffiti: why should you care?

Graffiti causes significant long-term damage to structures, particularly on Bath stone where graffiti is very expensive to remove.

While some people may think that graffiti looks impressive, it’s an illegal activity that in many cases encourages further vandalism. It can also make an area feel dangerous and run-down.

The cost of dealing with graffiti falls to the taxpayer.

By reporting graffiti immediately, you can help ensure graffiti artists do not get the attention they seek.
