“Every penny that we have to spend cleaning off this graffiti is a penny less that we have to spend on actually repairing the potholes.”
Not if they repaired said pothole properly instead of just chucking tarmac in (which in most cases then makes a bump) and by next winter it needs doing again.
I have a simple solution for the councils.
When you resurface a road / pavement why don't you work with GAS WATER ELC etc and tell them your doing the work and if they have any work that needs to be done it must be done at the time otherwise a fine will be placed on them for digging up said road pavement with 1year.
Also if they had some sense they would run as much of it in the pavement under Grills that can simply be lifted out, if it has to cross the road again use covers (with tarmac topping or whatever the top surface is).
This would speed up any works that need to be carried out and also prolong the life of the road.
Yes it may cost more to start but the end saving would far outweigh that.
