Graffiti is a massive problem all around our city.  It's a problem that cities around the world agree has to be given prompt attention before it gets out of hand.  It is also important to send home a clear message to the creator that their art is not welcome everywhere.

You might have noticed that the graffiti in our suburb has started vanishing off many fences, power poles and telecommunications boxes.  

Over the past month we have raised over 60 Requests For Service with the CCC to have the graffiti removed.

Graffiti is a small crime.  Stamp out small problems (fires, crimes) and they never get a chance to grow in to large ones.  

Unchecked, graffiti makes our suburb look like an urban slum.  Riccarton is one of the most vibrant suburbs in the world, there is not reason for us to look like a slum at the same time.

You can help us stamp out this crime by raising a Requests For Service with the CCC as soon as you see it show up.

Just How Much is To Much?
