A town has adopted a “zero-tolerance approach” to graffiti in an effort to deal with its “escalating issue”, Crimestoppers has said.
The charity said a four-week campaign had started in Northampton to tackle the problem.
It was working with Fearless, its youth service, and West Northamptonshire Council, which has increased the maximum fine for graffiti and other environmental crimes to £500.
“Graffiti is not only an act of vandalism – it undermines community pride, damages both public and private property, and can foster a sense of unease among residents and visitors,” the charity added.
