180.Section 64 provides a person on whom a notice has been served by the local authority seeking to recover the costs of removing graffiti from a surface a right to appeal against the notice on the grounds that the expenditure which the local authority proposes to recover is excessive. The sheriff, if satisfied that this is the case, may make an order substituting a lower amount. Subsection (2) provides that such an appeal must be made within 21 days, beginning with the day on which the notice was served.
