Roundabouts Vandalism
See notes
For the period 1 July 2025 to 30 November 2025, please provide a single total for the period for each of the following:
1. The total recorded spend incurred by the Council for repainting roundabouts as reactive works in response to unauthorised markings/flags/graffiti/vandalism (e.g. “flag”, “St George’s Cross”, “England flag”, “Union Jack”, “Union flag”, “painted flag”, “vandalism”, “graffiti”, “illegal signage” etc) – i.e. not routine/planned maintenance.
2. The number of jobs/incidents in the same period where roundabouts were repainted for the reactive reason above.
If – and only if – you do not explicitly record flags/graffiti/vandalism on roundabouts:
3. Please provide items (1)–(2) for all reactive (non-routine) roundabout repainting in the period, and confirm that a more specific split is not held.
4. If held, please include the relevant job/incident codes (and brief code descriptions) that map to reactive roundabout repainting so I can standardise across councils.
Where a discrete “roundabout” category is not held, please identify cases recorded under road markings/white lining/traffic signs & lines where free-text notes or codes indicate both a roundabout (e.g. “roundabout”, “RB”, “circulatory”, “island”) and a reactive trigger such as those listed above (case-insensitive; close variants acceptable).
If the filter above is not feasible, please provide the best available totals for reactive roundabout repainting in the period and, if held, the relevant job/incident codes used for graffiti/vandalism/illegal signage so I can categorise.

Our Highways department have already answered an enquiry on the same topic for the same time period, i.e. 1 July 2025 to 30 November 2025, the FOI number is 20865. The answer is no/none for all questions.
