Welcome to the
Vale of Glamorgan Council

The law on graffiti legal book

 

Our Council enforcement and compliance officers

May issue fixed penalty notices to those committing minor acts. Police and community support officers also have this power.

 

Other rights

Under sections 48-52 of the Anti Social Behaviour Act 2003 they can issue a 'defacement removal notice' to owners of street furniture and educational institutions whose property is defaced with graffiti.

 

Similarly it is an offence to sell aerosol spray paints to those under 16 years. Our trading standard officers investigate the extent of spray paint graffiti yearly and take action to tackle illegal sales.
