A resident from Yate has expressed his concern at graffiti that he describes as an 'epidemic'.
Graffiti has been sprayed on numerous signs, electrical boxes and bus stops around the area.
Alan Monaghan spoke to the Gazette about the problem he believes is affecting most of Yate and Sodbury.
Alan revealed that he had been in contact with the police force in the area and also used his position as Chair of Yate Town Council's environment and community committee to contact South Gloucestershire Council and report the incidents to them.
Do you think that the graffiti in the area is becoming a problem?
