Following vandalism earlier this month the Council is working to repair the damaged bus shelters in Tiverton, before Christmas.

During the early hours of Saturday, 6 December (around 2:30am) each pane of glass in the shelter in Phoenix Lane was damaged by vandals, resulting in thousands of pounds of damage.

The Council is continuing to work with police and reviewing CCTV.

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

Cllr Jane Lock, Cabinet member for Housing, Assets and Property Services, said:

“It was a sad sight to see so much purposeful damage caused to the bus shelter. 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.”

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