Graffiti and fly-posters have a negative effect on the lives of many, particularly city dwellers, whose neighbourhoods, parks, property and public transport are often blighted by these types of vandalism.
The presence of graffiti and fly-posters often coincides with other enviro-crimes such as litter and abandoned cars and is often the catalyst for a downward spiral of neglect in an area.
Such occurrences create a negative image of a neighbourhood giving those who live in or visit the area the impression that it is poorly managed and unsafe.
Graffiti and fly-posting can also encourage other more serious criminal activity or a perception that other more serious criminal activity might take place.
The Graffiti and Fly-poster Initiative was set up in November 2000 as a result of residents concerns and a recognition that the number of graffiti and fly-posting instances were increasing.
