Vandalism/Graffiti - Local Priority Group

Good Afternoon Hounslow Central Resident,

As you have ticked to hear more about Vandalism/Graffiti, I have provided some information around this topic. This includes how to prevent this and how to report any Graffiti you may see in the area you live. Graffiti crime can be prevented by reducing opportunities and creating a sense of vigilance. Strategies include removing graffiti quickly, making property less attractive with textured or thorny defences, installing security cameras and lighting,

CRIME PREVENTION - I have attached a useful Crime prevention link that could be useful to yourself & protect yourself from Vandalism/Graffiti. This takes roughly 5 minutes to read through - https://www.met.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/protect-home-crime/property-vandalism/ 

REPORTING GRAFFITI - If you come across any graffiti, taking a photo of this and then reporting it via https://www.fixmystreet.com/ is useful. This report then goes to Hounslow Highways who will look to schedule someone to come & clear this area. If the area isn't covered by them, they will notify you. In which this case you can look to report the issue via London Borough of Hounslow (LBH). 

I hope this information is useful. If you would like any other kind of advise, please do reach out to us.
