A Freedom of Information request has revealed that the number of graffiti reports was 120 in 2024-2025. The council said that this may not represent an increase in graffiti in the town, but just the number of reports they received. "This allows our waste and cleansing, maintenance and contracts, and parks teams to respond quickly and remove graffiti where needed. "Our teams investigate all reports and will remove graffiti if it's on public land or if it's offensive. Meanwhile Shamrock owner, Steven Wells, has spoken about the effect graffiti tagging has had on his business.
