Graffiti taking aim at East Lindsey District Council appears in Louth

This comes after multiple spates of graffiti in Louth in October last year, taking aim at Lincolnshire County Council’s Highways over the ill-fated parklets, which were also the target of vandalism.
A spokesperson from East Lindsey District Council, said: “We are aware of the graffiti which has appeared overnight on Mercer Row in Louth and we are currently working on getting the area cleaned up as soon as operationally possible.”
Coun Richard Davies, executive member for highways said: “It is once again a real shame to see graffiti blighting the streets of Louth and we are in conversation with ELDC about removal of this from the road.

“With regard to the bollard targeted by the vandalism, this can be removed easily when needed with Louth Town Council and various businesses current acting as key holders for this.”
