“I am outraged at the vandalism and senseless cost to the public exchequer.
“We were discussing the lighting of the riverfront at the council meeting last Tuesday with a view to improving it. We clearly did not move fast enough. It's so senseless. There are a tiny majority who seek to cause trouble.
“There's already a small rash of graffiti which we are attending to with the co-operation of Suffolk Coastal District Council.”
