Clerk Rodney Duggua said: “We have noted it and we don’t want to say thank you to the people who have done it.

“It will be cleaned and we have specialists coming to do it on Monday (October 21). We can’t just use any old material to do it.

“It is a very sad thing which happens from time to time, which we wish didn’t happen but we are on the case.”
