Belfast City Council is to look at “naming and shaming” public companies that do not clear graffiti on their buildings.
It adds: “The council will therefore commence work with companies, to seek agreement that they will remove graffiti on utility boxes and other property within their ownership within a defined, short period of time. Further, the council will look at whether any additional bye-laws are required to support this work.
“We feed through stuff to the council, but with the best will in the world we are never going to have the resources to deal with it. Nor do I think it should be the responsibility of the council to remove graffiti over all pieces of public infrastructure.
