Since May 2022 we’ve had two team members working full time on graffiti removal and jet washing across the borough. When our team aren’t removing graffiti, they have a programme of jet washing bin rooms and concrete areas to clear stains and moss. In the past six months, the team have removed over 250 pieces of graffiti borough wide.
We have set targets for removal: for vulgar or racist graffiti our target is four hours and we aim to send the team out to remove this kind of graffiti as soon as it is reported. Our target for removing all other reported graffiti is 48 hours.

Instances of graffiti are reported by our teams across the borough, by caretakers and other members of the Estate care team. All reports are sent to the team manager and allocated to the jet washing team.
Please help us keep the borough clean by reporting any graffiti that needs removing to our Customer Services Team on 0800 137 111
