FOLLOWING recent vandalism Mid Devon District Council is working to repair the damaged bus shelters in Tiverton before Christmas.

During the early hours of Saturday, December 6 at around 2.30am, each pane of glass in the shelter in Phoenix Lane was vandalised, resulting in thousands of pounds of damage.

New glass has been ordered, and it is anticipated it will be installed before Christmas.

“It is hard to fathom why anyone would do such a thing, but we would like to reassure our residents that work is underway to repair the shelters as soon as possible,” said Cllr Jane Lock (Lib Dem, Canonsleigh).

Anyone with information about the damage is asked to call the police on 101 quoting reference 50250314200.
