There has been a call for utility providers and government departments to remove graffiti "as a matter of priority" following increase in vandalism.
South Belfast SDLP councillor Gary McKeown has proposed a motion to Belfast City Council that would develop Memorandums of Understanding with companies and government bodies to remove graffiti, with the council being used as a central hub for members of the public to report it.
The councillor said that graffiti and vandalism is one of the top issues raised to him by local residents who are "fed up with widespread tagging" which is causing their communities to feel neglected.
