How you can help minimise graffiti vandalism
Graffiti vandalism can:
- have a negative impact on those living in the area
- create a perception that nobody cares
- attract more graffiti vandalism
- encourage other types of crime in the community.
A strong community response sends the clear message to those involved that graffiti vandalism (tagging) will not be tolerated.
The best action against graffiti vandalism is to remove it, or report it for removal.
We remove graffiti vandalism from the following council's public areas in Auckland:
- parks, reserves and beaches
- community halls
- council buildings
- roads and footpaths
- road signs
- street front walls and fences on residential and small business properties.
