Section 63 – Appeal against graffiti removal notice

179.Section 63 provides for the circumstances in which a person can appeal a graffiti removal notice. Subsection (5) provides that where a person has appealed against a graffiti removal notice, it shall have no effect pending the determination or withdrawal of that appeal. A local authority cannot therefore proceed to remove the graffiti from the surface named in the notice while an appeal remains outstanding.
