We are disappointed to have to inform you that recently someone has been scratching graffiti and obscene words on the inside of some of the lifts.

Not only is this distressing and offensive to other residents, it will also involve considerable cost to the service charge funds to replace the damaged panels.

Please be aware that we will not tolerate vandalism at County Hall.

We have already taken certain steps and we are making arrangements to cameras fitted in the lifts.

In addition we would encourage all residents be alert to this issue and report anything they might have seen and any relevant information to the porters lodge or to Emma Batchelor by telephone on 020 76201266 or by email at emma.batchelor@rendallandrittner.co.uk.
