Rossendale Council has taken swift action on the racist graffiti that has appeared on buildings in Bacup.
Our Street Cleansing Team was out early on Monday morning as it was reported by various shocked members of the community, to begin the clear up.
Due to the nature of the paint used we’ve worked with local company Gumblasters to remove it, and whilst the lengthy work was taking place we took proactive action to paint over the graffiti as it awaited cleaning so that the offensive content was not visible.
