A COMMITTEE has been set up to tackle graffiti in London boroughs.

The Greater London Assembly established the committee to investigate the extent of graffiti, as well as look at preventative and educational measures aimed at managing it.

Andrew Pelling, chair of the graffiti investigative committee, said: "Graffiti is costing boroughs and businesses millions of pounds. A London-wide strategy to control graffiti is long overdue."

To put forward your views email andrew.pelling@london.gov.uk or write to Graffiti Investigative Committee, Greater London Authority, Romney House, Marsham Street, London SW1P 3PY. The deadline is January 18, 2002.
