T0553 Operations Graffiti Management - Multi-Agency Collaboration

This work package is seeking to combine two current business initiatives, both striving for similar outcomes and benefits, into one wider project which will be managed by Operations.

Graffiti management on our Strategic Road Network (SRN) has come under scrutiny in recent years from Ministerial level. This application will expand on the background and ambitions and look to bring in wider opportunities to support working towards a longer-term solution to tackle graffiti vandalism on our network.

The nature of these initiatives involves a wide range of stakeholders, internally and across Other Government Departments (OGD), all with similar aspirations.

Operations Graffiti Strategy To continue to develop National Highways' longer-term response to graffiti management on our network following the Secretary of State for Transport's (SoS) challenge on graffiti reduction on the road and rail network in Autumn 2020.

Ministry of Justice (MoJ), National Probation Service (NPS), Community Service Payback To continue to work closely with MoJ and the Department for Transport (DfT) to support the initiative to deploy community payback activities on or around our network.
