It should be removed quickly as it creates an atmosphere that  deteriorates the quality of life in an area and increases fear of crime.

The PRIDE Project

The PRIDE project is a restorative justice initiative that uses a special graffiti removal machine in a high public profile setting to clear up graffiti.  The Graffiti removal machine is used ,under supervision, by those offenders convicted of ASB type offences, i.e. graffiti/criminal damage. The project meets several objectives in terms of  Safer and Stronger communities (e.g. cleaner and greener public spaces, reductions in crime and the fear of crime) as well as priorities aimed at cleaner environments. 

In addition, the PRIDE project is overseen in undertaking these tasks by the DCPA Community Payback Unpaid Work Team working through ISW and also works in partnership with Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue.
