Our policy on graffiti

Barnet spends £100,000 a year on removing graffiti and taking measures to prevent it happening in the first place. It's been found the best way to prevent vandalism of this type is to remove the graffiti as quickly as possible.

Graffiti is an offence under the Criminal Damage Act 1971 and the Anti Social Behaviour Act 2003, and anyone caught in the act will be prosecuted and could face a fine or imprisonment.

If you witness any type of vandalism taking place, dial 999.
