Graffiti removal cuts
Dear Haringey Borough Council,
I would like to know how many people you currently have on graffiti removal and if this service will be reduced or changed in any way as a result of the government spending cuts.
Yours faithfully,
Janis V

for offensive/racist graffiti.

Dear Watson Donna,
Please explain what you mean by 'proactive' removal, which has been cut.
Yours sincerely,
Janis V
This means any graffiti which they go out and find that they then remove rather than graffiti which has just been reported.
I hope this clarifies the matter.
Donna
Dear Sir/Madam,
Haringey does not employ any graffiti removal staff. Graffiti removal is
undertaken by an external service provider.
The graffiti removal service is subject to the same pressure on budgets as
other areas of work undertaken by the Council. However, the Council will
continue to strive to find ways to ensure that the standards we achieve,
which are top quartile for London, are maintained.
Please accept my apologies for the delay in making this reply.
