Graffiti
We operate a policy of zero tolerance for graffiti. If you notice graffiti on a UIB building, please inform us by completing a Needs notification  so that we can remove it.

Management of outdoor areas
Our objective is to ensure the safety of people travelling through, or spending time in, UiB's outdoor areas and facilities, and to provide pleasant and user-friendly park areas for recreation and leisure activities for students, staff and visitors.

Work priorities:

• Park management of green areas, including lawn mowing, tree care and gardening.
• Maintenance of fences, gates, benches, flagstones, steps, paths and parking spaces.
• Removal of winter snow and ice by ploughing, gritting and salt-spreading.
• External cleaning and maintenance activities such as sweeping, repair work, removal of unauthorised notices/posters and litter picking.
• Graffiti removal

The Parks Section, which is part of the Department of Estate and Facilities Management, is responsible for the management of outdoor areas at UiB.
