Rotarians help remove graffiti

Local Rotary Club members joined with Central Coast Council and community members to remove 140 square metres of graffiti from 17 sites on the state-wide Graffiti Removal Day on Sunday, October 29.

"We removed graffiti from sites in Umina, Woy Woy and Ettalong," said Central Coast co-ordinator Mr Greenway said.

"This was a great opportunity for the local community to prove just how much we love where we live," he said.

Mr Greenway said that Graffiti Removal Day was only part of the solution in the fight against graffiti.

"While the day was a success in removing graffiti, it is important to remember it is only one day of the year, but the fight against graffiti continues throughout the year," he said.

"To stop graffiti vandalism, we need members of the community to report it as soon as they see it, by calling the Graffiti Hotline on 1800 707 125.

"This means it can be removed quickly, preventing vandals from getting any kind of exposure.

People interested in volunteering their time to help remove graffiti on an ongoing basis were encouraged to contact Graffiti Removal Australia on either 1300 665 310 or info@graffitiremovalday.org.au.
