Fly-posting and graffiti

Graffiti and fly-posting are dealt with in the same way and are subject to the same legislation.

To report it or request removal complete the Graffiti and fly-posting form.

Fly-posting

Fly-posting is the illegal posting of fliers, leaflets and posters onto walls, lamp-posts, street furniture, bus shelters etc. If you would like any unsightly fly posting removed from an adopted highway please let us know.

Graffiti

We are responsible for cleaning graffiti from any adopted highways and from any council owned properties.

If you want to report graffiti, please contact us with information on exactly where the graffiti is and whether it is of an offensive nature or not.

Removal of graffiti is usually carried out without any damage to property, but any damage that may occur during some types of graffiti removal will not be the responsibility of North East Lincolnshire Council.

Graffiti anywhere else is the responsibility of the home or landowner.

Offensive graffiti needs to be reported using the Police non-emergency 101 line or on the Humberside Police  website. If you would rather not give your name, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
