Residents and councillors have been left furious after a sign was smashed to pieces over the weekend.

On Friday night, signage at St John's Park in Chipping Sodbury was completely vandalised.

The signs that were vandalised are used to inform walkers of a route to take, whilst also making them aware of the wildlife that can be seen in the green space near the park.

South Gloucestershire, and Sodbury Town Councillor Rob Creer admitted he was saddened by the vandalism but he had reported it on so it could be fixed in the future.

"It's very disappointing to see this vandalism caused to the signage in St John's Park," he said.

"After local residents had contacted me about what had happened, I went over first thing on Saturday morning to see the damage and report it to South Gloucestershire Council.

"I will also be raising the issue at the next Sodbury Town Council Meeting."

The damage happened at some point in the evening on the Friday, coinciding with the arrival of the Mop Fair to the nearby High Street just half a mile away.
