Graffiti

You can report graffiti so we can remove it quickly and keep your area clean and safe. We deal with graffiti on council property and, in some cases, private property.

• offensive graffiti (racist, sectarian or obscene):
  Call 0303 123 1020. We aim to remove this within 24 hours of your report.
• non-offensive graffiti:
  You can report this using our online form below. We aim to remove this within 5 working days.

Where we can remove graffiti

We remove graffiti from:

• council buildings
• street furniture and public spaces

We can also remove graffiti from private property, but you must sign a disclaimer before we start work.

Why reporting graffiti matters

Graffiti is illegal and is treated as vandalism under the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995. People responsible can be charged with a criminal offence.

Removing graffiti quickly helps to:

• keep your area looking well cared for
• reduce further vandalism and anti-social behaviour
• prevent issues like fly-tipping

Cleaning graffiti takes time and costs money, so early reporting helps reduce the impact on local services.
