Residents in Langley, Berkshire, are seeing cleaner streets this March 2026 after a community project successfully removed graffiti that had been identified as a major concern by local people.
The project was a joint effort between Slough Borough Council and the Langley Neighbourhood Action Group. This group of local residents helped identify exactly where the spray-painted tags were located so that teams could clean them up effectively.
Councillor Ejaz Ahmed, who is responsible for community safety, described the graffiti as criminal damage that is not welcome in the town. He explained that the council wants to send a clear message to stop people from tagging buildings and public spaces in the area.
The cleanup is part of a wider safety plan that involves the council and Thames Valley Police working together to reduce antisocial behaviour. To help catch those responsible, the council teamed up with Crimestoppers to offer cash rewards of up to £1,000 for information that leads to the identification of people who have damaged the neighbourhood.
Organisers say the project has already reduced the amount of graffiti in the area and helped improve how the neighbourhood looks for everyone. The council plans to continue monitoring the area to discourage people from causing more damage in the future.
