Even our Mayor has problems with graffiti

I doubt this building on Great North Road in Five Dock is owned by our Mayor, but its had a "vote for me" sign on it for as long as I can remember.  I take it that this means that the Mayor is close to the owner.

Council just can't turn up and clean up graffiti on privately owned property like this - the request has to come from the owner or their agent.  So in this case, I have emailed the Mayor and asked him to contact the owner and get this cleaned up.

After all, it doesn't look good to have the Mayor's name associated with a huge bit of graffiti.  Angelo can point the owner at the excellent web site that the Council is using for graffiti reporting.
