New sign at Spalding Bus Station has been vandalised




One of the new red tourism signs has been vandalised just weeks after being installed.

A yob seems to be doubting the a information written on the red and black sign which was installed at the Spalding Bus Station.

Eleven route marker and ‘wayfinding’ heritage information points were installed around the town in February as part of the Spalding Reconnected initiative, which received £233,163 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The ‘wayfinding’ and interpretation of the project cost £66,625, as revealed in a Freedom of Information request submitted by this website.

But someone has now scrawled ‘not true’ in green pen next to some information about Spalding Flower Parade and the town’s association with tulips on the bus station sign.

They have also vandalised the map section of the sign with the letters of T.K and some sort of tag.

Spalding Town Forum chairman Rob Gibson branded this is ‘pointless graffiti’ at last night’s meeting.

Coun Liz Sneath said: “It was such a shame that this has happened.”
