It is such a shame that elements in our community feel it appropriate to go around damaging property. These bus shelters are owned by the Parish and are maintained by the council taxes we all pay. The repairs will be paid for out of the precept money which, in effect, is a cost to each household.
Anyone with information may call Crimestoppers (0800 555 111) confidentially to report on any acts of vandalism.
This incident has been reported to West Mercia Police.
Bus shelter on Old Worcester Road opposite the turning for Station Road.
