Photographed and have reported today Graffiti on the corner of Clapham High Street / Venn Street and on some of the businesses along the street.
By reporting this, the graffiti will be removed by the council within 48 hours. Removing graffiti is costly. Graffiti makes an area feel run down and increases the perception that criminal activity is prominent in that area. If you have any information regarding the people behind this criminal damage please contact the Clapham Town Safer Neighbourhood team: 020 8721 2825 – 07881 516977. I have already forwarded these images to them and ask them to see if any images of the culprits were captured on CCTV in the area.
To report graffiti, please call 0207 926 9000 or email graffiti@lambeth.gov.uk. In my experience they are very quick to respond to reports and the quicker graffiti is removed the better.
