Request
Please can I have some metric how much is spent (in time, hours etc) on cleaning up graffiti in Jersey over a period of time.
Response
Infrastructure, Housing and Environment (IHE) do not have staff dedicated to graffiti removal; however, they manage various cleaning contracts which include the removal of graffiti from public toilets and bus stops, etc.
The time spent on cleaning graffiti is not recorded, therefore, the information you have requested is not held and Article 10 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.
