Graffiti removal

同时we accept that graffiti can be unpleasant, the cost of removal can often be high. As a public body we have to adhere to the Government’s Managing Public Money principles and prioritise our expenditure on safety critical matters and those affecting the operation of the railway. For those cases that involve offensive graffiti, we will do all we can to remove this as quickly as possible.

We use a number of different methods to prevent graffiti including:

• funding partnerships with local authorities – these often have their own graffiti removal teams and can act more quickly
• educating young people about the dangers, working with third parties including the British Transport Police and local youth associations
• identifying and monitoring offenders using CCTV and regular checks
• using anti-graffiti technologies such as special paints, improved security and allowing plants and trees to grow over surfaces that attract graffiti.
