Grafitti on private properties

[caff]

Do local councils ever sort out graffiti on private properties? Or public properties only.

Some houses in my local area have been tagged. Not close neighbours of mine, but on my route to work and it's been spreading rapidly since the first few went up.

Unsure of what to do really - I'm sure the houses aren't happy with it, but I'd be out there scrubbing it off ...

I've got no problem with artistic graffiti in the right area, it's the mindless badly sprayed tag on someone's wall that winds me up.
