BEACH huts forming part of a multi-million pound Eastern Promenade development have suffered some vandalism.

The scheme, still in its constructors' snagging phase, has not yet officially been opened to the public.

A Vale Council spokesman said: “The council is aware of some minor damage to the beach huts but as we have not formally accepted the handover of the Eastern Promenade development, responsibility for the site, including its security, still lies with the contractors."
