ONE of the new bus shelters installed in Hyndburn as part of the multimillion pound Pennine Reach Scheme was been vandalised.

The shelter on the corner of Harwood Road and Stourton Street was put in as part of the scheme, which aims to boost public transport links in East Lancashire.

Shattered glass was left strewn across the pavement.

Coun Clare Cleary, who lives just a few doors away from the shelter, said: “This is pretty shameful behaviour.

“Money is being spent on improving services for Rishton and the mindless few just have to try and spoil it for everyone else.

“I have reported it and it will be repaired but that costs more money.”

Anyone with any information can report it in confidence to Coun Cleary by calling 07794 249 265, or the police on 101.
