Vandals have destroyed two election signs belonging to Tory parliamentary hopeful Gordon Henderson.

The signs - part of a display stretching across Sittingbourne and Sheppey - were at the bottom of Stockers Hill, Rodmersham.

According to Mr Henderson, both signs were damaged beyond repair and were too expensive to replace.

He added: “It could be simply mindless vandalism, which in itself is a sad reflection of the levels of anti-social behaviour that blight some of our communities.”
