A fake zebra crossing painted across a road has left a council facing a bill of thousands of pounds in a bid to clean up the vandalism.

It was one of several acts of vandalism along the road and nearby High Street over the weekend, with bollards and other street furniture also painted over. "The clean-up began immediately with crews working throughout the evening to remove the paint on Mill Bank while traffic was quitter using the most appropriate methods. The white residue that remains here will wash off with the rain."We’re incredibly disappointed to see such damage, which is likely to run into thousands of pounds and at having to deploy limited resources that would better used elsewhere.
