ABHORRENT racist graffiti has been smeared throughout a beauty spot weeks after a hate crime took place in a nearby road.
Racial slurs and Nazi symbols have appeared in white spray paint in the popular Rush Green Park in Clacton.
Daubed on everything from tree trunks and rocks to drain covers and a gated fence, the despicable vandalism includes several references to the offensive N-word.
The bigoted graffiti also includes the use of the name Hitler.
Mary Newton, Tendring councillor for the Bluehouse ward, said: “I am beyond shocked, I am staggered.
“Some of the youngsters vandalise the area but never have I found them to be racist in any way.
