Graffiti on bench

Recently the "Bench of Wisdom" on the pathway between Margaret Road and St. Peter's Street (in the Kings Meadow) has had some additional graffiti painted onto it. The new graffiti is in white paint and so shows very clearly on the dark brown wood.

The words include (but without the asterisks) "F*CK OFF" and "C*NT". This path is one which is used by a lot of people and young children. I have a young daughter myself and am concerned that she might start reading the words on the bench and repeating them.

It would be great if the graffiti could be removed.

Thanks!
