Lake Macquarie business chambers have expressed concern about Council's plan to strip graffiti removal funding
Currently Council gives money to town centers to assist in the removal of graffiti however, Lake Macquarie Council says it is capable of dealing with graffiti swiftly without the program.
Business owner are worried the responsibility will fall on them
Belmont and Charleston Chambers of Commerce Business Developer, Jenny Barrie, says business are very concerned.
"Council has the juvenile justice and they often use local volunteers to do clean up, so it's sort of like a group project but once the chambers are not able administrate, it relies back on council to do all the work. It is a real problem... that needs a collective group to work together on continuously."
