Vandalism

The Council needs people to report acts of vandalism in order to 'get things done'. Vandalism is criminal damage, which is a legal offence - whether it's defacing a park bench, applying graffiti or smashing something up to render the item completely useless.

If you are a witness or have reason to believe you know who has committed the offence, you should contact the Norfolk Police.

You should also report the offence to the body responsible for the item, for example if it is a public telephone box, contact British Telecom, if it is a bus shelter, contact the bus company.

If the item is a park bench, sign, dog or litter bin, or you are unsure of who is responsible for the item, please contact North Norfolk District Council. The Council needs you to report it in order for it to be repaired - which could save someone being injured by the broken object. This is particularly the case for water safety aids, such as life-belts which are available along the coast and broads areas. See our Beach Safety pages for more information and useful contact numbers.

You can ring the Council on 01263 513811, write (see address at the bottom of the page) or use the Contact Us link at the top of the page to send your information via this website. Please remember to include details of the item that has been vandalised, including the location.
