SIR, - I am writing to complain at the amount of graffiti that seems to be cropping up around St Albans and that is not being cleaned off by the district council. The cleaner-district strategy is to clean off any graffiti within five working days.

For instance there is a lot of graffiti in the alley way behind the Jolly Sailors pub among other areas which has been there for months and I'm sure I can't be the only one to have noticed and reported it but no action has been taken.

I appreciate this is not getting at the cause of the problem but if it is not cleaned off then more just gets added to it.

STEVE HUNT,

Culver Road, St Albans.
