Expand
the Neighbourhood Act
Help us to help ourselves
By
Chris Took,
Canterbury Liberal Democrat City Councillor
During the Canterbury City Council’s budget
discussion on February 16th, local councillor Chris
Took asked the City Council to provide funds
for the removal of offensive and racist graffiti
from private buildings where that building fronts
onto a public highway or footpath. Whilst money for
a ‘Graffiti Hit Squad’ was approved,
it transpired that the Neighbourhood Act would not
allow removal from private dwellings. We think this
is wrong and are campaigning that ‘private
buildings’ should be included in the Neighbourhood
Act 2003. Please click
