A new Bus Shelter installed by Whitehaven Town Council on 5th September 2019 at the junction of Thornton Road has been targeted by vandals on two occasions this past week.
The first incident occurred between 4:00pm and 8:00am on 4th/5th December 2019 and the second incident occurred sometime over the weekend. On each occasion two panels were smashed with a rock which was found nearby. The shelter has been made safe.
The Chairman of Whitehaven Town Council, Councillor Brian O’Kane said “I find it absolutely deplorable that vandals cause wanton destruction like this for no reason”.
