A TOWN’S war memorial has been brought ‘back to life’ after vandals defaced it with an offensive symbol.

It was discovered last month that vandals had scrawled a swastika on the Connah’s Quay and Shotton war memorial, which caused outrage across the town.

Despite being cleaned by Flintshire Council’s Streetscene officers, the outline of the swastika could still be seen.

The Leader has previously reported that a national company, based in Kent, offered to clean the graffiti and the memorial free of charge.

A NATIONAL cleaning company has stepped in to help remove the two-week old graffiti from a town’s war memorial.

Residents were left outraged after discovering a swastika on the Connah’s Quay and Shotton war memorial, across the plate commemorating those that fought for their country.

The outline of the graffiti can still be seen despite officers from Flintshire Council’s Streetscene trying to remove it.

The Leader has previously reported that they were limited to what they can do without causing damage but a national company had offered to clear it using specialist equipment.
