VANDALS are being blamed after a nature trail sign was destroyed in Brightlingsea.
The sign tells visitors what nature can be seen in the area and about the history of the walk along the old railway line headed towards Alresford.
Brightlingsea Town Council expressed disappointment over the "mindless vandalism" .
A spokesman said: "Brightlingsea is a town with such a great sense of pride in its community and public areas.
"It’s such a shame that a small minority spoil things for everyone else by continued acts of mindless vandalism.
"This criminal damage has been reported to the police and we would urge anyone with any information as to who may be responsible to let the police know by reporting online at Essex.police.uk or phoning 101.
"If you wish to remain anonymous you can contact Crime Stoppers on 0800 555111."
