Graffiti removal polices for bus stops and bus shelters
Mark Pack made this Freedom of Information request to Transport for London This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.
Dear Transport for London,
Can you please tell me what your current policies are for:
(a) Removal of offensive graffiti on bus stops reported to TfL
(b) Removal of offensive graffiti on bus shelters reported to TfL
(c) Removal of non-offensive graffiti on bus stops reported to TfL
(d) Removal of non-offensive graffiti on bus shelters reported to TfL
In particular I would like to know who is responsible for the removal and the expected timescales for them to meet.
If the answer to any of the above is that removal waits for the next normal scheduled cleaning visit, please also let me know what the schedule is for such visits.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Mark Pack

Dear Mark Pack
Our ref: FOI-2710-2122/GH
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 25
February 2022 asking for information about graffiti removal policies for
bus stops and bus shelters.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can
confirm we do hold the information you require.
Our cleaning schedules for removal of offensive graffiti is 2 to 4 hours
and this applies to both bus shelters and bus stops.
Non-offensive graffiti on bus shelters is not reported for action but will
be removed as part of the next scheduled clean which can vary between 1 to
4 weeks depending on location and severity of graffiti. On bus stops our
planned cleans are annual unless reported due to severity.
The cleaning process for both shelters and stops is carried out by our
nominated contractors.
If this is not the information you are looking for please feel free to
contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal.
Yours sincerely
