A local councillor says the area is becoming a 'destination' for nuisance graffiti.
Tagging has “exploded” in Leeds’ Headingley and Hyde Park districts and is “blighting” the community, worn-down locals say.
“It’s been a problem probably for the last six or seven years,” Mr Beswick said. “It’s grown considerably to the point that we’re almost the tagging destination of choice in Leeds, and possibly even further afield. “We’ve got a lot of landlords,” Mr Beswick said. "A lot of landlords just don’t, relatively speaking, have remotely the same level of concern about their property being tagged than people who live in their own houses.
Dwindling public resources have not helped either, with police unlikely to track down the perpetrators unless they’re caught in the act, Mr Beswick said. Tagging was raised at a meeting of Leeds City Council’s environment and housing scrutiny board this week.
