Getting graffiti and fly-posters removed
Graffiti and flyposting are illegal, spoil both public and private property, and can be very costly to remove.
Graffiti and flyposting
Graffiti is wording or imagery that is written, painted, sprayed or scratched onto the surface of any property.
Fly-posters usually advertise or promote events and are placed without permission of the owner of the property and can take the form of stickers, signs or posters.
