Council youth and safer communities planner Tony Ellitt said the event aims to highlight the problem of graffiti vandalism and encourage people to get involved in its removal from their area.

"Graffiti Removal Day provides a great opportunity for individuals, community groups, sporting clubs, businesses and other organisations to join the fight against graffiti and make a real difference to the appearance of their local community," Mr Ellitt said.

Volunteers will be supplied with cleaning material, paint, safety equipment and training on how to remove graffiti safely.
