The damage was reported by East Lindsey District Council this afternoon, with a post on social media which stated: “Wow! Our Neighbourhood teams have been busy again, this time planting a design in Mablethorpe to commemorate 75 years since VE Day and a ‘thank you’ to the NHS.

“Just think how it will look when it’s all in full bloom (don’t worry, we’ll show you over the next few weeks).

The Alford & Mablethorpe policing team added: “We are aware there was a beach party last night, and this damage has been done overnight near the same location with alcohol bottles discarded.

“If anyone has any information please get in touch - or, if you decided to try and be clever when a bit drunk, then let’s be grown ups today and come forward so we can get this made right.”
