Councillor Lucy Hodge, Cabinet Member for Sustainable Transport Delivery, said: “The removal of graffiti, stickers, and flags placed on public assets comes at a cost to the public purse. This cost is not only financial, but also importantly includes the cost of council officers having to divert scarce resource from delivering promised, needed improvements. It is a criminal offence to put non-approved markings on the highways, and the police are actively investigating recent occurrences. The safety of everyone using our network is our top priority, and any vandalism of signs designed to keep road users safe will not be tolerated ."
