Cabinet adopted a formal policy approach to graffiti and flyposting in the Town and agreed the following recommendations:

1.    A free removal service to be offered for domestic properties, upon completion of a suitable disclaimer.

2.    A chargeable removal service to be offered for commercial and other non-domestic property, upon completion of a suitable disclaimer.

3.    Formalisation of existing education and enforcement processes relating to graffiti and flyposting.

Councillor Hallam as the relevant Cabinet Member submitted his report and stated that it resulted from a motion on a graffiti policy which had recently received the full support of Council.  He considered that it was important to stamp out graffiti, particularly that of a racist nature. Councillor Hallam thanked Councillor Marriott for his assistance with the report.

Councillor Larratt stated that he fully supported the report.
