‘IMMATURE’ vandals have been condemned for defacing campaign posters.

Cllr Andy Morgan found this sign and others, promoting Bolton West Tory candidate Chris Green, with the words ‘save the NHS’ and ‘liars’ painted on them at the junction of Beaumont Road and Chorley New Road in Heaton. He said that nearby Labour posters had not been targeted.

Mr Green said: “It’s disappointing that, in a democracy where people’s views should be heard, people think that doing immature things like this would actually persuade voters.”

His Labour opponent, Julie Hilling, said there was “no excuse” for vandalism.
