THANK you to the many Loughton Alderton residents who have signed the 'Help clean up Loughton' petition.

Over 75% of residents responding to the survey recently carried out by the Liberal Democrat FOCUS team said they were against the Tory run council's decision to cut funding for removing graffiti.

Local Liberal Democrat candidate Neil Woollcott says "Graffiti blights many of our streets. If graffiti is left untouched, its presence often encourages more graffiti, dumping and antisocial behaviour."

Following complaints from local residents, Neil has visited many of the green equipment cabinets in Loughton Alderton and reported the graffiti to the phone companies.
