AN information sign at the old Mangotsfield railway station has been repaired and returned after being vandalised.
Graffiti was daubed on the sign, which provides information about the Bristol & Bath railway Path and the history of Mangotsfield, in August.
A panel from the sign was also knocked out of its mounting – South Gloucestershire Council says it is not aware of claims the initial damage was done by a council vehicle.
After an appeal by South Gloucestershire councillor Michael Bell for help in fixing the sign, Emersons Green Town Council staff stepped up to complete the job.
Council environmental services manager Paul Kearsley said: “The sign has been reinstalled and cleaned as thoroughly as possible.
“Unfortunately, once something has been vandalised, it’s difficult to restore it to its original condition.”
