Click>>> Fury as pensioners targeted by graffiti-spraying vandals are told by council to clean up the mess themselves or face £1,000 fine

In the letter sent to residents, Jim Hunter, risk management co-ordinator at the Tory-run council, said: 'The external appearance of your property is a source of concern due to this graffiti.
'I advise that if prompt action is not made in remedying the removal of graffiti, the council has the option to take enforcement action under Section 215 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
'I do ask that the graffiti is removed within 21 days from the date of this letter.'

I can see the council has the right under the law but this is a heavy handed attitude against a group of pensioners which is not fair.
