Shock as racist graffiti appears in community

Vile racist graffiti has been daubed on hoardings in Dinnington.

The offensive graffiti - in the Laughton Road and market regeneration project area - has been condemned and reported.

On a Facebook post, Dinnington Conservatives said: “There is absolutely no place for racism or hatred in our community, and we condemn this behaviour in the strongest possible terms.

“The graffiti has been reported so that action can be taken to have it removed as quickly as possible.

“Everyone in Dinnington should be able to live, work and visit our town without being subjected to hateful or racist abuse.

“A tiny minority do not speak for our town, and they never will.”

The graffiti appears soon after a similar racist incident at a string of locations in Aston.

Offenders there used spray cans to paint offensive messages on the pavement of All Saints Way, Conyers Drive, the car park of the village cemetery, on Alexandra Road, and the Aughton Road area.
