12/08/09 - Graffiti Busting Week
THE Safer Hart Partnership this week called on the Hart public to report local graffiti to them so that it can be dealt with during the fifth annual Graffiti Busting Week (August 24-28).
The Community Safety Team only removes graffiti during the special week. The aims of the week are to encourage people to take pride in where they live and work and to remove as much graffiti across the district as possible.
The partnership believes that graffiti not only spoils a community but it encourages anti-social behaviour and heightens fear of crime.
Last year an unprecedented amount of reports were received and more than 100 pieces of graffiti were removed. Those left over will be given priority this year.
Graffiti should be reported to community-safety-team@hart.gov.uk or ring 01252 774476.
