Anchor display vandalised at Cleethorpes Lollipop Express Train
VANDALS have removed a half-ton anchor from an award winning display.
The 100-year-old sailing boat anchor in the flower beds at the Lollipop Express Train near Cleethorpes Leisure Centre was dragged from the display last night.
It appears they dragged it from the beds and smashed it into the barrier, breaking the wooden post.
Lollipop Express owner, Borg Nejrup, who won Cleethorpes In Bloom's Best Business Award for the display, is devastated.

“Probably the "Fat Controller's" anti floral storm troopers - they have vandalised all the other attempts to make the town look like a seaside resort!!”

“... Vandaled?
I'm sorry but that is not a word! Is there no one at the Grimsby Telegraph who checks for these kind of errors?”
