A report on graffiti in the Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon Council area has revealed the worst affected spots.

Lurgan is ranked second, with the following reported: DfI property, six instances; BT property, 40 instances; ABC property, 12 instances; other, 18 instances; totalling 76 instances. “Graffiti on property such as walls and bridges, and on the various NIE and BT street cabinets, will come within the enforcement remit of the council. These can be dealt with by the service of a Defacement Removal Notice if informal approaches are not fruitful.

“It is an offence for a person to sell aerosol paint to a person under the age of 18 years. A test purchasing exercise is included within the current Environmental Health Business Plan. Correspondence is issued to retailers across the borough annually, reminding them of their legal responsibilities. Three test purchases were completed last year.
