Launched in November 2024, the "Vandalism to Vibrancy" campaign has already made significant strides. Over 465 cases of graffiti vandalism have been logged, with 73% of the identified issues cleaned up.
The campaign focuses on major hotspots and includes documenting evidence to track repeat offenders.

Key highlights
Plans are also underway to introduce ultra-precise, eco-friendly laser systems for graffiti removal.
Additionally, the BID is commissioning street art projects to replace vandalism with murals, encouraging creative expression in a controlled manner.
Regular checks of high-risk areas ensure prompt clean-up and deterrence. Sheffield BID analyses and stores evidence of specific tags, reporting incidents through the DISC system.
Collaboration with universities, building managers, and facilities teams raises awareness of the issue’s impact and fosters a collective effort to maintain a clean city centre.
A vision for the future
Sheffield BID remains committed to fostering a vibrant city centre culture where street art is celebrated responsibly. The "Vandalism to Vibrancy" campaign is a testament to the BID's dedication to creating a safer, cleaner, and more welcoming environment for everyone.
