SHINFIELD Parish Council has urged residents to help combat a recent rise in vandalism to footpath signage.
It said councillors were ‘saddened’ to see signs, which had been installed for the benefit of all to explore footpaths and cycle lanes, across the parish either cut or disfigured.
Cllr Ian Clarke, chair of the parish council’s recreation and amenities committee, said: “Replacement signage is costly, taking away money that could be spent elsewhere in the parish.
“Please help eliminate the vandalism within the parish and report damaged signs to the police as a crime, and separately on the parish council website.”
In a social media post, SPC said: “Many people make the mistake of thinking that acts of vandalism are “too small” to report to the police. This is false. No matter how large or small, report it all.”
