VANDALS have caused "mindless damage" to a town's crazy golf course.

The course on Dovercourt seafront was targeted by vandals last Wednesday (October 21).

Maria Fowler, Harwich town councillor, said: "The golf course is something for everybody to use and is a community facility for families to use.

"It astonishes me that a person living in the community would inflict mindless damage to the course - it's appalling."

Harwich Town Council is urging any witnesses or anyone with information to contact Essex Police on 101 quoting crime reference number 42/172480/20.
