Police investigating Derbyshire Dales incidents of public benches vandalised with tools
Derbyshire Police are investigating a series of vandalism cases which have seen public benches damaged around Matlock, Matlock Bath and Darley Dale.

The seats appeared to have been attacked with an angle grinder then repositioned, and after the refurbishment contractor had carried out emergency repairs, the benches were damaged again the following night.
Council chairman Peter Baranek: “We’ve been seeing a lot of vandalism targeted at Covid safety measures in recent months but I think this could not be described as passing vandalism. The benches were bolted to the pavement.
