Council increases fines in a bid to reduce graffiti attacks

Category: Graffiti cleaning

Fines for unlawful graffiti and fly-posting in Bristol have more than tripled in a bid to crack down on anti-social behaviour. Approved by Bristol city council’s cabinet, the change came into effect on the 17^th of April and sees fines increase from £150 to £500, the maximum allowed by a law passed in 2023.

A serious, persistant problem

As a company specialising in exterior building cleaning, we know that graffiti vandalism is a serious and persistent problem. No exterior surface is immune; walls, bridges, fences, signs, bus stops, every outdoor surface is considered fair game. We hope that the increased fine will help deter would be offenders and reduce the number of incidences.
