Newcastle City Council's new anti-graffiti team is planning to tackle three of the cities' busiest high streets, as they look to clamp down on keeping high footfall areas clean and tidy.
The removal team, which was introduced in February, took down 150 pieces of graffiti last month, using environmentally friendly products and a high-pressure washer.
Work will start later this year to address this issue on West Road, Heaton Road and Shields Road, with buildings, monuments and benches all set to be cleaned up.
