Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council 45 minutes later. Council ref: 8076107.
The zebra crossing in Twerton High Street has been vandalised by someone painting the George cross on the white lines with red paint. This is illegal under Section 137 of the Highways Act 1980, which prohibits the obstruction and interference with the highway, and is also a criminal offence under the Criminal Damage Act 1971. Please can it be rectified ASAP. Many thanks, that's much appreciated.
