Bus shelter 'pre-vandalised'

A bus shelter has been installed on a Derbyshire street despite already having been vandalised.

Residents near Ladybank Road, Mickleover had been waiting for a shelter for weeks but were dismayed when it arrived complete with graffiti.

The city council said it often reuses shelters and the failure to clean this one was down to "miscommunication".

A spokesman confirmed a cleaning team had been notified and work would be carried out "as soon as possible".

The council said it could not comment on whether the initial graffiti had encouraged subsequent vandalism on the shelter.
