Vandals attack water taxi

SUCH are the problems with vandals in Spalding that its water taxi service has had to be moved.

The service that is owned by South Holland District Council and Broadgate Homes, and run by Spalding Water Taxi has had its boat vandalised so often that £25,000 is being used to provide new, more secure moorings.

Damaged

Both the disabled lift and boat moorings have been damaged, but the taxi's new moorings on the Welland will have new electrical connections and CCTV camera connected to a control room.

The service is run on a non-profit basis to provide a service and give visitors a different view of the town.
