WITH reference to your article Shock costs to remove graffiti, (News Shopper, January 23.)
I think it is disgusting that we, the public of Bexley, have to pay for this charge instead of making the youths who do it pay for it and clear it off.
Outside Belvedere police station youths are waiting to go in, only to be told: "Don't be naughty boys".
Why don't the police give them gloves, scrubbing brushes and cleaning materials and make them clean it off.
I am a 78-year-old pensioner, whose council tax goes up year after year and who does not get any refunds.
As fast as bus shelter glass is broken, it is replaced and broken again.
Gone are the days when you could walk safely through the streets and there was no litter about.
