A large section of writing has appeared on a house near Golden Bridge Chinese takeaway with large “D” painted on the wall and door of the now shut General Sir Redvers Buller public house and across the road on two pillars at a private address.

Outside some pubs paint was spread on the pavement, some with messages and also on walls and outside on pavements of a number of shops and High Street businesses.

The town CCTV covers the whole of the High Street and Union Road area and it is expected that the culprit will be caught on this.
