If you have any information about who is responsible, please let us know.
We deal with requests for graffiti removal from Council owned property, with the highest priority given to removing offensive material.
We aim to:
If the graffiti is on private property, the Council cannot remove it without permission from the landowner. When this is reported to us, we will try to contact the landowner to get permission.
It is important that instances of graffiti is reported to the Police. You can report this online via: https://www.hampshire.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/.
