Our policy on graffiti
Barnet spends over £100,000 a year on removing graffiti. It's been found that the best way to prevent vandalism of this type is to remove the graffiti as quickly as possible.
Graffiti is a criminal offence and anyone caught in the act may be prosecuted and could face a fine or imprisonment.
If you witness any type of vandalism taking place and the suspect is present, dial 101.
