Council addresses graffiti on Littlehampton's Long Bench

Paint has been spattered up the inside wall of the shelter section on the 324-metre seafront bench.

Arun District Council said it is ‘aware of the graffiti’ and wanted ‘to reassure residents that it is being addressed’.

An ADC spokesperson said: “Previous attempts to remove the graffiti proved that standard graffiti removal chemicals were insufficient to remove the multiple layers of paint on the structure.

"Therefore, we are arranging for a dedicated team to carry out the work, and we are waiting for their availability.

"Please be assured that we are not leaving the bench in its current condition and work will be carried out as soon as possible.

"Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
