Tagging is a crime in New Zealand. It is vandalsim and destruction of property. If you are caught tagging you can be arrested and fined. Tagging not only makes our city's look ugly it costs to clean up. Tagging Costs - we all pay the price "At the Council we remove tagging because it can make people feel unsafe, and mean that they won't use places due to fear. It would be great if you could help us by reporting tagging to the Council helpline." "You may tag to get a message across or ask for advice. If you need advice, how about talking to someone you trust. If you want to get a message out to the world, why not talk to a teacher or a youth worker. You may be able to work on a street art project with them. If you want to create street art, make sure you get permission from the owner." |
