Graffiti Week Appeal

THE Safer Hart Partnership this week appealed to people in Hart to report local graffiti to it so that it can be removed during the sixth bi-annual Graffiti Busting Week (September 20-24).

Hart’s Community Safety team only removes graffiti during the special week. Its aim is to encourage people to take pride in their surroundings while removing as much graffiti as possible from across the district.

The partnership believes that graffiti not only spoils a community but encourages anti-social behaviour. It also heightens fear of crime and undermines faith in local services.

Last year a record amount was reported and more than 100 pieces of graffiti were removed. Any left over will be given priority this year.

Organiser Richard Denham commented: “We still need permission from landowners to remove graffiti but if they consent then it will be removed free of charge.”

Graffiti should be reported to community-safety-team@hart.gov.uk or ring 01252 774476.
