The word on the street locally is that it isn't mindless vandalism at all. The suspicion is that it was done by someone with an axe to grind (no pun intended!) with the town council. So a symbolic attack on tourism, rather than anything else.

That's the only credible explanation I could think of myself, other than it was done bysomeone completely barmy.

The other rumour, that it was done by someone (identifiable) with a grudge over a planning refusal, was pretty awful IMO. If I was him and heard anyone say it in the pub I'd sue the pants off them.
