Tag on Snap, not the street

Tag on Snap, not the street

You might see graffiti around town - tags, names or designs spray-painted onto walls, signs, or buildings. Maybe even scratched into bus stops. Some people might see graffiti as art but when it’s done without permission, it’s actually a crime.

In Northampton, we’re seeing lots of tags on the street. It doesn’t just cause damage, it can make where we live feel less safe and less cared for. That’s why we’ve launched a new campaign to encourage young people to tell us who’s doing it.

Did you know:

• Graffiti is considered criminal damage under the law.
• Those caught can face fines, a criminal record or community service.
• It costs time and money to clean up. That means less money for things we want, like parks, sports facilities, or youth clubs.

If you know who’s tagging in Northampton, it’s okay to speak up. You don’t have to confront anyone or put yourself at risk, just let a trusted adult, teacher, or your local authority know.  You can also tell Fearless 100% anonymously by filling out our online form:
