How to remove painted numbers from driveway

Any ideas on how we can remove painted numbers from our driveway?

It's a new build shared ownership property but the builders for some reason numbered our driveway which they werent meant to do (only meant to number allocated parking bays whereas this is our own private driveway). None of the other S/O have numbers on their drives so I want to try and remove them?

Any ideas for something that will remove the paint but won't damage the drive (brick)?

Thanks

    And they will know what they used and so should have the information about how to remove it.

    Already asked them and they aren't interested as it's not causing any "issues". Maybe will have to push hard about it, I assumed I could buy something to remove it them but from the replies, seems more complicated! Will tell them to come out and remove. Thanks

    Here's a thought. People have been known to use paint stripper to remove paint.
    If it has recently been put down, a session with a jet washer might well remove it.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    If it's a brick drive - take the bricks out and turn them over :) cost = £0.00p

    Is the site still being developed ?

    If so wander round to the sales office on a normally busy Friday / Saturday , wait for someone to enquire about buying

    Then politely say to them

    Don't bother buying here ...they won't deal with any problems you have !!

    Should get a result
