Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UK<p>Bizzare <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/vandalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vandalism</span></a> - someone has taken the effort to climb a light column on <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/pedestrian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pedestrian</span></a> refuge in middle of the village and obscure keep left <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/sign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sign</span></a> with grey paint (they have also done the same to smaller sign on the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/bollard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bollard</span></a>, can't be seen in photo due to darkness).
