Graffiti removal in Lady Park

Residents of Lady Park have raised a number of graffiti problems with Lib Dem campaigner Susan Craig. The graffiti in question has been mainly on street and traffic signs. Susan has notified Gateshead Council’s Anti-Graffiti Team about them.

The Anti-Graffiti Team operates throughout the borough to remove racist or obscene graffiti by the end of the next working day following it being reported. Non-racist/offensive graffiti will be removed as soon as practical. The Team use a Gateshead Council vehicle equipped with some of the latest and most environment-friendly anti-graffiti technology.

Neighbourhood Wardens can issue a fine of £50 when dealing with graffiti offenders.

Residents can request removal themselves. To request the removal of graffiti please contact: Local Environmental Services on 433 7000 (24 hour line) or Susan on 488 0787 if you wish to report any problem areas. You can also report it via email on enquiries.localenvservices@gateshead.gov.uk.
