Guarding against graffiti

Around $105,000 was spent by Parramatta Council to remove graffiti last year.

This year the council plans to spend the same plus another $100,000 for two staff and vehicles allocated to graffiti removal.

Each year councils in the west and south-west of Sydney pour thousands of dollars into cleaning up graffiti and tags.

But resourceful companies have come up with new security measures, all on display last week at the Security 2008 exhibition.
