The latest Community Safety Precinct Meeting took place at the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council with a small but interested group.

Senior police including Superintendent Paul Fehon led the discussion of recent crime statistics.

The most vocal contributions happened when illegal graffiti and tagging were mentioned.

A Council representative said "so many assets are consistently being tagged".

She said that the number impacted was in the thousands.

But there appeared to be a limited number of people responsible for the illegal activity, with the same tags repeatedly being spotted.

Senior Constable Wendy Hudson told the meeting police were working with the courts to ensure those caught for such offences were prosecuted.

Council's spokeswoman said there were currently seven people who had volunteered to be part of the Graffiti Blaster program, while another "five or six" shifts need to be filled.

Pripol Forensic Investigation and Security's Graeme Cunynghame said businesses had a responsibility to fix up unsightly illegal graffiti when it appeared on their buildings. Superintendent Fehon said Coles had been working positively with police in that regard.

Council and Essential Energy's collaboration on a legal and themed artwork on a padmount substation outside the town's library was noted, particularly because it has not been tagged over or defaced by vandalism since Simon Luxton painted it two months ago.
