Disgustat memorial bench vandalism

- KATHRYN ANDERSON

A memorial bench desecrated by vulgar graffiti has been condemned by local residents.

“Slag Mag” was scrawled across a Norie Miller park bench dedicated to the memory of a Perth resident.

When the image of the vandalised bench was shared on Facebook last week it caused outrage.

Posting a photo of the bench a resident wrote: “As I was out for my walk today at Norie Miller I was really shocked that some people can be so low to graffiti on a personalis­ed bench of someone’s loved ones! Especially in a time like this! How disrespect­ful and heartless! Very sad to see.”

Perthshire residents reacted with horror and called the act “absolutely disgusting” and “disgracefu­l behaviour.”

A spokespers­on from Perth and Kinross Council told the PA workers immediatel­y attended to it on Monday (January 25).
