Swale BC has teamed up with police and Kent CC to step up its clampdown on graffiti in the area. The council boasts a 98% graffiti-free record using a fortnightly cycle as part of its regular clean-up initiative. Alister Andrews, the council's environmental response team manager, said: ‘Given clean and graffiti-free streets are rated so highly by all of us, the community safety partnership continues to search for cost efficient initiatives that not only maintain our current high standard, but improve upon it.'
