Councillor Elizabeth Lee, Lewes District Council Lead Member for the Community, said: 'We would like members of the public to come forward and help us in tackling this problem. We are keen to keep our beautiful district 'clean and green'.

'Graffiti is anti-social as it defaces our built environment and the cost of cleaning it up could be better spent on improvements and initiatives for the community. If you recognise the style of the graffiti in Newhaven, or if you know the person responsible, please tell us.'

Anyone with information in relation to the West Quay graffiti should phone Lewes District Council on 01273 484999, Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 999 or Crimestoppers anonymously and free on 0800 555 111.

There will be a reward for information leading to the people or person responsible being apprehended.
