SDC tackles continuous graffiti at the Recreation Ground in Stratford-upon-Avon

The Sports Pavilion and the Dry Arch Bridge at the Recreation Ground in Stratford-upon-Avon have been targeted twice in the last two weeks by large-scale graffiti.

Stratford-on-Avon District Council has already undertaken expensive clean-up operations and is now stepping up its response with a series of targeted measures. These measures include working with the CCTV team and local partners to address the repeated incidents and respond to concerns from residents and visitors.

The mindless vandalism not only detracts from the beauty and tranquillity of the area but also places a financial burden on the District Council and undermines community pride. Graffiti can lower the quality of an area's environment, encourages other environmental crime, and can increase the fear of crime in general.

In addition, the District Council is liaising with the local police to investigate the recent incidents and pursue those responsible. Find out more about SDC's policy on graffiti on our website here
