Help prevent graffiti
You can help prevent graffiti by:
- Planting bushy trees and shrubs or climbing vines against external walls and fences.
- Using darker colours to paint solid external surfaces such as walls, pillars and fences.
- Applying anti-graffiti coatings to surfaces that are likely to be graffitied.
- Installing motion sensor lighting to cover areas that may be graffitied.
- Keeping your property well-maintained and presentable - messy and unmaintained properties invite graffiti.
- Submitting a request to remove graffiti immediately to deter further attacks - taggers want their work displayed.
