Rotary seeks graffiti day volunteers

The Rotary Club of Woy Woy has encouraged local residents to become involved in Graffiti Removal Day on Sunday, October 30.

Graffiti vandalism costs local businesses, households and the Central Coast Council millions of dollars each year, according to club project organiser Mr John Greenway.

This is money which could be invested into roads and other worthwhile community projects, he said.

"On Graffiti Removal Day, our community can come together in the fight against graffiti and make a real difference to the appearance of our local community.

"Last year across NSW over 2000 volunteers removed 21,000 square metres of graffiti from 450 sites.

"On October 30, volunteers will be supplied with free cleaning material, paint, safety equipment and training on how to safely remove graffiti.

"They register by completing the forms on the Graffiti Removal Day website at graffitiremovalday.org.au.

"People can also support this great event by promoting it on Facebook or Twitter #GRD16.

"The Rotary Club of Woy Woy is proud to be working with the Central Coast Council, the NSW Government, Graffiti Removal Australia and sponsors such as Dulux, Selleys and Smart Graffiti on this event."
